Yakitori Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak bamboo skewers in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread chicken pieces and green onion pieces alternately onto the skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Yakitori

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with leftover marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from grill, sprinkle with salt to taste, and serve hot.
