Chicken Skewers with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Fragrant Rice

This is a recipe from Madhur Jadfrey which is usually used for whole chicken pieces, but here I used the same marinade for chunks of breast for threading on to skewers. If you are using wooden ones soak them first to stop them scorching, although didn't work for me and I also had to cover with foil. The peanut sauce that goes with this is really tangy and delicious, and the fragrant rice is almost a meal in itself.
