Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 1 pound chicken wings (mid-joint and tip)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 pinch shichimi togarashi (seven-spice blend)(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.

  2. 2

    Stretch the wings out and thread them onto bamboo skewers, piercing through the meat between the bones to keep them flat.

  3. 3

    Lightly brush the wings with sake and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt on both sides.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, and ginger; simmer over medium heat until thickened into a glaze.

  5. 5

    Prepare your grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the wings generously with the prepared tare glaze if desired.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat and serve immediately with a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi for extra heat.
