Main Ingredients

Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Green Onions

    Cut the green onions into 2-inch lengths. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinating

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces in the mixing bowl. Ensure all pieces are well coated.

  2. 5

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Prepare Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, use metal skewers.

  2. 7

    Skewer Chicken and Green Onions

    Thread the marinated chicken and green onions alternately onto the soaked skewers.

  3. 8

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with rice or as an appetizer.
