1
Set grill to medium. Cut the chicken into ¾-inch chunks. Seed the peppers and cut into ¾-inch chunks. In a large bowl, toss the pepper and chicken chunks with the oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Thread chicken and peppers onto skewers, alternating 2–3 pieces of pepper for 1 piece of chicken. Place on grill and cook, covered, 5 min., turning occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the hoisin, vinegar, garlic, and chili garlic sauce until combined. Finely chop the peanuts. Thinly slice the green onions.
