Chicken Yakitori Skewers

Chicken Yakitori Skewers are a popular Japanese snack made with pieces of chicken, vegetables, and other ingredients that are threaded onto a skewer and then grilled. The skewers are usually seasoned with a sweet and savory teriyaki-style sauce, although other flavorings such as miso, garlic, and ginger are often used. The skewers can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish. The combination of smoky, charred chicken and sweet, salty sauce makes for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  • Step 1
    Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a small saucepan, combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, and ginger. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 3
    Pour the sauce over the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 5-7 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the skewers and serve. Enjoy!
