Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for maximum flavor.

Prepare the Green Onions
Cut the green onions into 2-inch long pieces, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Soak Skewers
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Assemble the Skewers
Thread pieces of chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of white and green parts of the green onions.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill the Yakitori
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, basting with extra marinade until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Serve
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. Enjoy your yakitori with rice or as an appetizer.
