Preparation steps

For Chicken Satay:
2.
Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat completely dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, cut chicken lengthwise into strips 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
3.
In a non-reactive bowl, combine dry ingredients, oil olive, lime juice and diced onion. Pour marinade into a large resealable plastic storage bag, add the chicken strips, reseal the bag and gently shake to coat the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
4.
Prepare grill for direct grilling.
5.
Clean and trim the lemon grass stalks to a length of about 8-inches, and cut the tips diagonally to create a pointed angle.
6.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the lemon grass skewers. Grill the chicken, 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked through.
7.
Serve with dipping sauce and lime wedges.
8.
For Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce:
9.
In a blender, puree the rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, hot water, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and chili paste until well combined. Pour into a small bowl and serve with chicken kebabs.
