Method
Place 8 bamboo skewers in a shallow dish, cover with cold water and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes.
To make marinade, place all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together well to combine. Add chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Transfer to fridge and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
For the satay sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. If the sauce is a little too thick, simply add a little more water. Set aside.
Preheat a barbecue, chargrill pan or frying pan over medium heat. Thread marinated chicken cubes onto prepared skewers and season well with salt and pepper. Grill skewers, basting with marinade as you go, for about 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.
Transfer cooked skewers to a serving platter, season with salt and pepper and scatter over coriander leaves. Serve with satay dipping sauce and lime halves.
