Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Yakitori Skewers.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, sugar, and finely chopped ginger, whisking until the mixture is harmonious.
Step 2
Add the chicken cubes, tossing them gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the flavors to deepen and infuse the chicken.
Step 4
Once marinated, take soaked skewers and thread the chicken cubes along with vibrant pieces of green onion, alternating between the two for a delightful presentation.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, pour the remaining marinade and heat it over medium heat until it simmers gently.
Step 6
Lower the heat to keep it warm.
Step 7
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting, lightly oiling the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 3 minutes until the chicken develops a beautiful brown color.
Step 9
Flip the skewers, brush them with the warm marinade, and grill for another 3 minutes, or until the second side is equally browned and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma and the delicious flavors that come together in this simple yet satisfying dish.
