2. Preheat grill to medium high heat or use a grill pan on the stovetop. Thread chicken onto skewers, discarding any remaining marinade.
3. Grill chicken satay for about 4 5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and charred in places. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.
4. While chicken is resting, prepare peanut sauce by whisking together remaining cup of peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, coriander, and cumin until smooth and creamy. Thin with water as needed to reach desired consistency.
