   • Set up the charcoal and wait until it turns into glowing embers. The chicken will be grilled once the coals are ready.

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Brush the chicken skewers with a mixture of sweet soy sauce and minced garlic.
   • Place the skewers on the grill over the hot coals. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, and continuously brush with the soy sauce mixture until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a delicious charred exterior. Repeat the brushing and grilling process until the chicken is perfectly done.

4. Make the Peanut Sauce:

   • Fry the roasted peanuts and minced garlic in a small amount of oil until aromatic. Blend or grind them into a fine paste.
   • In a saucepan, heat some oil and add the peanut paste. Cook, stirring continuously, and add palm sugar and salt to taste. Pour in a little water and stir in any leftover chicken fat for added richness.
   • Cook the sauce until it thickens and becomes oily and flavorful. Adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Assemble and Serve:

   • Drizzle the grilled chicken skewers with the prepared peanut sauce. Add additional sweet soy sauce to taste.
   • Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and garnish with finely sliced shallots. For those who enjoy a spicy kick, add finely sliced chili peppers to the dish.

6. Serving Suggestions:
