Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 500 grams Chicken gizzards (Sunagimo)
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sake (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Shichimi Togarashi (seven-spice powder)(optional)
  • 2 pieces Lemon wedges(optional)
  • 10 pieces Bamboo skewers
  • 2 cups Cold water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

  2. 2

    Clean the chicken gizzards by removing any remaining silver skin or tough white connective tissue using a sharp knife.

  3. 3

    Cut each gizzard lobe in half or into bite-sized pieces of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Place the gizzard pieces in a bowl and toss with sake, then let sit for 10 minutes to neutralize any strong odors.

  5. 5

    Pat the gizzards dry with paper towels and thread 4 to 5 pieces onto each soaked bamboo skewer.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the coarse sea salt evenly over both sides of the skewers right before cooking.

  7. 7

    Heat a grill pan or broiler to medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.

  8. 8

    Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the edges are slightly charred and the texture is firm and crunchy.
