Steps:
- Soak the bamboo skewers or cocktail sticks in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent them from burning.

- Simmer very gently for five minutes.
- Preheat a barbecue, grill or griddle pan until very hot.
- Thread two or three strips of marinated crocodile or chicken meat onto each skewer and place on the barbecue or griddle pan or under the grill.

Steps:
- In a food processor, blend the peanut butter, coconut milk, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilies, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, soy sauce, and lime juice into a smooth paste; this should make about 2 cups. Reserve half of the marinade and pour the other half over the chicken thighs. Mix and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Skewer the marinated chicken onto bamboo skewers, then arrange the skewers so their ends rest on the edges of the baking tray, allowing the chicken to be suspended. Bake the chicken skewers for 15-20 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges and cooked through.
- With no oil in the pan, toast the chopped peanuts on low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the peanuts turn golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Add in the reserved marinade and the coconut milk. Stir and cook until thick and very aromatic, 5-10 minutes.
- Serve the chicken skewers with the sauce on the side.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender meat: Crocodile or chicken should be fresh and well-trimmed. Look for meat that is firm to the touch and has no discoloration.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help tenderize it and add flavor. Use a marinade that complements the type of meat you are using.
- Skewer the meat: Thread the meat onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables. You can use metal or wooden skewers, but be sure to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the skewers: Grill the skewers over medium heat until the meat is cooked through. Be sure to turn the skewers frequently to prevent them from burning.
- Make the cashew nut satay: While the skewers are grilling, make the cashew nut satay. This creamy, flavorful sauce is the perfect complement to the skewers.
- Serve the skewers with the cashew nut satay: Serve the skewers hot off the grill with the cashew nut satay. You can also garnish the skewers with fresh herbs or vegetables.
