Recipe: Japanese Grilled Chicken Yakitori
Summary: Yakitori is a simple and DELICIOUS Japanese street food of grilled chicken, served either shio-style (with salt), or tare-style (with a mirin/sake/soy/sugar sauce). Typically, yakitori is made from bite-sized chicken pieces, scallions.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 – 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 bunch green onions, white part only, cut into 2″ lengths
ok, maybe i’m missing something… in your instructions the marinade doesn’t actually meet the meat. how long should the chicken marinade before putting them on the grill?
The recipe has been modified to show when to add the sauce.
