Step 1

Prep chicken. In a large bowl, whisk together the water, sugar, garlic, peanut oil, turmeric, cumin and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken and turn the chicken pieces until they are coated evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

Step 2

Prep sauce. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce.

Step 3

Mix ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the boiling water and peanut butter together until the peanut butter is dissolved into water. Whisk in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Set aside.

Step 4

Cook sauce. In a small skillet, heat the peanut oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and sizzling, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chili-garlic sauce and turmeric. Cook an additional 30 seconds.

Step 5

Finish sauce. Whisk the garlic mixture into the soy mixture until combined. Reserve half of the sauce for grilling. Set the remainder aside to serve with the cooked chicken.

Step 6

Prep grill. When ready to grill the chicken, heat the grill to medium-high. When hot, leave one part of the grill at medium-high. Turn the heat to low on the other part of the grill.

Step 7

Prep skewers. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers. Discard the marinade.

Step 8

Cook chicken. Grill the chicken, uncovered, over medium-high heat until well charred, 3-4 minutes. Flip the skewers and then brush the chicken with some of the reserved sauce. Grill the second side for another 3-4 minutes. Flip again and move the skewers to the cooler side of the grill. Brush the chicken with more sauce, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, another 6-7 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and serve with sauce.
