Ingredients
- about 450 g Chicken Thighs
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 stalks Green Onions
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 450 g of chicken thighs into about 2.5 cm pieces.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, and 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar is dissolved. This is your yakitori sauce.
- 3Cut the 2 stalks of green onions into about 2.5 cm pieces.
- 4Thread the about 2.5 cm pieces of chicken thigh onto skewers, alternating with the about 2.5 cm pieces of green onion. You should have about 4-6 pieces of chicken per skewer.
- 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 175°C.
- 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 7During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the yakitori sauce. Continue grilling, turning and basting, until the sauce is slightly caramelized and sticky. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- 8Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
