Japanese chicken yakitori
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 bunch green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Vegetable oil for brushing
Directions
- In a saucepan, add soy sauce, mirin, sake, water, and brown sugar. Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes and then drain.
- Alternate pieces of chicken and green onions up the length of each skewer, ensuring to leave space at the bottom for a handle.
- Brush both sides of the chicken skewers with vegetable oil and place on a hot grill/under the broiler on an oiled wire rack. Cook for three to four minutes on each side.
- Brush on soy glaze, cooking again for two to three more minutes on each side until deeply caramelized and cooked through to the middle.
- Remove from grill, and serve hot. Enjoy!
