Yakitori

Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs
• 6 stalks Scallions
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Mirin
• 0.25 cup Sake
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 10 pieces Bamboo skewers

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the liquid reduces by half and becomes syrupy.

3. 3

   Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Cut scallions into 1-inch lengths.

4. 4

   Thread the chicken and scallions onto the skewers, alternating between them.

5. 5

   Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side. Once the chicken is nearly cooked, brush generously with the tare sauce.

7. 7

   Continue grilling for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is fully cooked.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
