For the peanut sauce:

2 Tablespoons ginger, minced
1 Tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions
Marinating the chicken:
Combine the garlic, soy sauce, juice and zest of limes, ginger, coriander, sweetener, crushed pepper, peanut oil, and water in a food processor or blender.
Place the chicken in a large container or gallon Ziploc bag and pour the mixture over the top.
For the peanut sauce:
Place the garlic, pepper, lime juice, coconut milk, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce, cumin, and sweetener in a blender and puree.
Transfer to a saucepan and heat with the peanut butter and water. When the peanut butter has melted, remove from heat and add the chopped peanuts.
Cooking the chicken:
If baking the chicken in a loaf pan, pat the marinated meat dry.
Layer the meat inside a standard loaf pan. Pack and press the meat down tightly and cook at 425° for 45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°.
If skewering the meat, bake at 425° for 12 minutes on each side or grill outside until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
Notes
Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours ahead of time.
Make the sauce up to five days ahead of time and reheat, thin with water if necessary.
Make sure to soak the skewers for an hour ahead of time.
