Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds raw boneless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 4 green onions
- YAKITORI SAUCE
- 6 ounces low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 ounces chicken stock
- 3 ounces sake (or dry sherry)
- 2 ounces mirin (or rice wine)
- 2 ounces granulated sugar
How to Make
-
Step 1: Soak wooden skewers and preheat grill.
-
Step 2: Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil for five minutes. Split into two parts - one for basting and one for serving. That way you won't have any raw chicken bacteria transferred over at serving. Set aside.
-
Step 3: Meanwhile, chop chicken and green onions into bite sized pieces. Thread alternately on skewers.
-
Step 4: Brush skewers with basting sauce and place on grill. Turn and bast often. When done, brush again with basting sauce. Serve warm with sauce reserved for serving.
