Chicken Yakitori Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved. This will be the marinade and glaze.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- 3
Prepare the Skewers
While the chicken is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- 4
Skewer the Chicken
Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- 5
Grill the Yakitori
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- 6
Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill, garnish with chopped scallions, and serve with chili peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
