2. Preheat the broiler or fire up the grill. Take the chicken from the marinade and place it in a clean bowl. Reserve the marinade for basting. Add the oil to the chicken and stir to coat. Thread about 6 pieces of chicken onto each skewer and place on a foil-lined broiler pan or on a lightly oiled grill rack and broil or grill for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, basting with marinade a couple of times, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Serve with Peanut Sauce.
