Instructions
- To make the marinade, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, keto honey, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Pour marinade into a zipper bag and add chicken. Seal bag and shake to coat chicken in the marinade.
- Place the bag in the refrigerator so that the chicken is covered in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the grill, or a grill pan, over medium heat. Divide the chicken evenly onto the four skewers.
- Oil the grill and place the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally until cooked, about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is grilling, combine the peanut butter, fish sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and keto honey in a small bowl. Serve alongside the chicken skewers for dipping.
