Turn to coat well and cover bowl with plastic wrap or airtight lid.
Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make your quick pickled veggies by placing your carrots and cucumbers in a small bowl with the cilantro, rice vinegar and sugar.
Toss in the chopped Cilantro and mix well to coat. Let them pickle while you cook your chicken.

Tangy Peanut Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer over low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally , or until thickened.
Remove from heat, and pour into a serving bowl or dish and let cool while you grill your chicken skewers.

Grilled Satay

Heat up your BBQ or grill to temp.
When your chicken is done marinating, carefully remove them from the bowl and scrunch 3-4 tenders onto long skewers and set aside.
Place the skewers on a hot BBQ grill or indoor grill, and cook for about 4-5 minutes turning pieces to char on all sides.
Chicken should be fully cooked through and not pink in the center.
Place skewers on a serving tray with 2 small side bowls of pickled vegetables and peanut sauce for dipping.
Serve with your choice of rice and garnish with lime wedges and fresh Cilantro.
