Citrus Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce

Ever had that nuclear chicken on a stick you get a Thai restaurants?  The one that comes with the peanut sauce?  I never was sure of what made it neon colored (aka nuclear to me) but what I was sure of is that it is good stuff and I wanted to make it.  I came across a this recipe for citrus chicken sate with peanut sauce and I had to try it!

Citrus Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce:
4 boneless skinless breast cut into chunks

1 cup orange juice
4 oz lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1/5 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp soy sauce (gluten free)
2 tsp brown sugar

Citrus Chicken:
Mix marinade:  1 cup orange juice, 4 oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed), 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/5 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper.  Soak the chicken chunks in marinade for the day.  Place them on skewers and grill them or fry them up on the stove.

Peanut Sauce:
Whisk together 4 tbsp peanut butter, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp soy sauce and 2 tsp brown sugar.  Serve with chicken.

It has a more citrus-y taste to it then what I have had a Thai restaurants but it was very good! We all liked the peanut sauce with it as well.
