Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 1 lb Chicken skin (from thighs or breast)
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 tbsp Sake
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese 7-spice)(optional)
  • 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 whole Lemon wedges(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during the grilling process.

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken skin into long strips about 1 inch wide and blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute to remove excess fat.

  3. 3

    Thread the skins onto the skewers in an accordion-style fold, bunching them tightly together.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.

  5. 5

    Stir the soy sauce, mirin, and sake into the garlic butter and simmer for 2 minutes to create the glaze.

  6. 6

    Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat and lightly salt the chicken skin skewers.

  7. 7

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the garlic butter glaze every few minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi and green onions, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
