Yakitori chicken skewers served

Yakitori Chicken Skewers

Yakitori, or Japanese chicken skewers, are one of the most popular street foods in Japan. They began to spread during the Edo period, when simple, charcoal-grilled dishes became popular. The specialty of yakitori is the marinade, which offers the perfect harmony of sweet and savory flavors. This dish is an ideal choice for gatherings with friends or a quick, tasty dinner. Different regions prepare it with different ingredients, but the classic version is always impressively simple and delicious.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

    2

    Cut the chicken thigh fillets into even pieces, about 2-3 cm in size. Clean the scallions and cut them into 3 cm pieces.

    3

    Prepare the marinade: combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, then let it cool.

    4

    Thread the chicken pieces and scallions alternately onto the skewers. For example, a piece of chicken followed by a piece of scallion, and then chicken again.

    5

    Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with the marinade and place them on the hot surface.

    6

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, basting regularly with the marinade to keep the meat juicy and flavorful. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.

    7

    Serve the yakitori skewers hot, drizzled with a little extra marinade if desired.
