Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 1 lb Chicken skin (from thighs or breasts)
  • 2 tablespoons Shichimi Togarashi (Japanese seven-spice)
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mirin
  • 2 tablespoons Sake
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
  • 10 pieces Bamboo skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Cut the chicken skin into long strips about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic; simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened to make the tare sauce.

  4. 4

    Thread the chicken skin onto the skewers in a zig-zag 'accordion' fashion, bunching them tightly together.

  5. 5

    Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grate with vegetable oil.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until the skin is crispy and the fat has rendered out.

  7. 7

    Brush the skewers generously with the prepared tare sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat and immediately dust each skewer heavily with Shichimi Togarashi while the sauce is still tacky.
