Cook, stirring with a whisk, just until the peanut butter melts into the sauce and the sauce is blended. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is the consistency of heavy cream.
-
Taste and add additional hoisin, Sriracha, or lime juice to taste. Transfer to a bowl to serve, or cool, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.

Thread 1 to 2 slices of the marinated chicken onto each skewer. Set them on a baking sheet.

For charcoal grills: Light one chimney full of coals and when they are covered with ash, spread them out evenly. Allow the grill grates to heat for 5 minutes.
-
With a pair of tongs, dip a folded square of paper towel in oil and generously oil the grates.
-
Grill the chicken for about 3 minutes per side or until browned on both sides and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a platter and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
-
Serve as an appetizer with the dipping sauce or with rice or cucumbers and greens for a meal.
