Procedures:

Combine both the oils and the lime juice in a nonmetallic dish. Add the chicken cubes, cover with plastic wrap, and let chill for 1 hour.

To make the dip, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion, chili, and garlic over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until just softened. Add the peanut butter, water, and lime juice and let simmer gently, stirring constantly, until the peanut butter has softened enough to make a dip—you may need to add extra water to make a thinner consistency.

Meanwhile, drain the chicken cubes and thread them onto 8-12 wooden skewers – soak the skewers in cold water for 45 minutes before threading the meat to help stop them burning during cooking. Put under a hot broiler or on a barbecue, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Serve hot with the warm dip.
