Skewers

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Skewering and Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. 4

    Skewer the Ingredients

    Thread the marinated chicken, green onion pieces, bell pepper pieces, and zucchini pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables for color and flavor.

  3. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  4. 6

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Brush with any remaining marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
