Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, sugar, and hot sauce to make the sauce.

Skewer the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, ensuring to do this on a cutting board to avoid injury.

Season the skewered chicken with salt.
