Spiced Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce

Description

These spiced chicken skewers are a flavorful and easy-to-make appetizer or main course, perfect for summer barbecues or parties. The chicken is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and then broiled to perfection. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The combination of galangal, coriander, cumin, and anise seed creates a unique and delicious flavor profile. The recipe requires some marinating time, but the result is well worth the wait. Serve with a side of peanut sauce for dipping, and you'll have a crowd-pleasing dish that everyone will love. These skewers are also great for meal prepping – just marinate the chicken ahead of time and cook it when you're ready to eat.
