• 1/2  cup  panko bread crumbs
• 1/4  cup  chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 2  8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 24 thin strips

• 1to 2 teaspoons Asian chili-garlic sauce
• 24  6-inch bamboo skewers

Directions

1. On a large plate, combine the peanuts, bread crumbs, cilantro, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Thread each strip of chicken onto a skewer and coat with the peanut mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
2. In batches, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the skewers until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate as they are cooked and add more oil to the skillet as necessary.
3. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chili-garlic sauce. Serve with the chicken.
