Yakitori is a grilled, Japanese skewered chicken. Yakitori is a great dish that goes well with any Japanese food. I like to serve yakitori as an appetizer. It is often served with cold beer! This Yakitori recipe tastes best when cooked over charcoal. If you don’t feel like making the sauce, you can go out and buy your favorite teriyaki sauce.

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless chicken thigh meat
6 to 8 bamboo skewers
2 lowers halves of green onion (optional)

Tare Sauce
3 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoon mirin
1 1/3 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon honey

Makes about 6 to 8 pieces

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent burning.

Step 2: In a small pan, mix together the tare sauce ingredients (soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, honey) and let it simmer for about a minute over low-medium heat. Then let it cool while you’re preparing the chicken.

Step 3: Cut chicken to bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onion at an angle.

Step 4: Thread the chicken onto the skewer and alternate with the green onion.

Step 5: Grill both sides of the chicken without the sauce. When the meat is done, brush the sauce on the chicken on both sides and grill for another 30 seconds or less (caution: the sauce burns quickly).

Step 6: Serve as an appetizer or side dish.
