Consolidate kecap manis and margarine, then brush onto chicken.
Cook the sticks on a hot BBQ (outside barbecue) or on the oven in an enormous non stick fry container (add a sprinkle of oil, and ensure the sticks will fit in the skillet). Barbecue/oven would likewise work.
Serve, embellished with squashed peanuts, shallots and with lime wedges and Peanut Sauce as an afterthought.
Nut SAUCE
Heat oil in a little pot over medium high hotness. Add garlic, onion and chillis and cook for 3 minutes until onion is clear.
Turn heat down to medium, then add peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis, soy sauce and salt. Stew for 10 minutes, whisking every so often.
Utilize a handheld stick to puree (so the onion and stew mixes all through the sauce - this is vital). (See Note 2 for mixing directions) Stir through squashed peanuts and lime squeeze and stew for 2 minutes. Permit to cool marginally prior to serving or to room temperature - it will thicken. Cool.
