- Combine chicken thighs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and sunflower seed oil in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
- Bring water, peanut butter, kecap manis, brown sugar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan; stir to combine. Remove from heat and add lime juice; transfer peanut sauce into a bowl.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers; brush 2 tablespoons of peanut sauce over chicken skewers.
