Chicken Yakitori Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Thighs
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Sake
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 stalks Green Onions

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 lb of chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces.
2. 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.
3. 3Cut the 2 stalks of green onions into 1-inch pieces.
4. 4Thread the 1-inch pieces of chicken thigh onto skewers, alternating with the 1-inch pieces of green onion. You should have about 4-6 pieces of chicken per skewer.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
6. 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 165°F (74°C).
7. 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.
8. 8Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
