I left the chicken skewers in the marinade for 2 hours, grilled them on my inside grill, added some cayenne to the peanut sauce for extra kick that my hubby likes...wonderful! Thanks, Ian, we'll make this again!

Both the marinade and dipping sauce were superb! I cooked on a BBQ and rather than serve the dipping sauce on the side poured over the chicken because I was doing a small serve for two as a main course.

I haven't made the chicken dish, but I have made the dipping sauce (which requires you to make a little of the dipping sauce, too.). The dipping sauce is a great sauce for teriyaki meatballs, and pretty much everything else. I find people using it on everything at a party - bread, meat, cheese, etc.
