Gather @chicken thigh{700%g}, @sweet soy sauce{4%tbsp} and @bird's eye chili{2}.

Toss the chicken cubes with half the kecap manis and the crushed @garlic{4%clove}; marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. ~{30%minutes}

While the chicken marinates, blend the @peanut butter{150%g}, @shallot{3}, chili, remaining kecap manis and hot water into a smooth, pourable sauce.

Thread the chicken tightly onto the skewers, leaving no gaps between pieces.

Grill over high heat, turning often and brushing with the leftover marinade, until charred at the edges and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. ~{12%minutes}

Flood the hot skewers with the peanut sauce and finish with a squeeze of @lime{1}, serving the rest of the sauce on the side.
