Chicken yakitori

You are here: Home / COOK / Chicken yakitori

13/11/2017 By //  by Jen Leave a Comment

Yakitori is a Japanese sauce used on grilled chicken. The real plus for this easy chicken dish is you don’t have to marinate the meat before you cook it, so it is a perfect last minute quick meal for your weekly meal plan. So what are you waiting for?

CHICKEN YAKITORI

Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 40 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 100ml soy sauce
  • 100ml mirin
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 600g / 1lb 3oz of chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
  • 3–4 spring onions / scallions
  • vegetable oil
  • 12 bamboo skewers
  • serve with steamed rice and Asian greens

Method

  1. Place the soy, miring and sugar in a saucepan on mediem heat and reduce by half (about 5–10 mins). Take saucepan off the heat and add sesame oil.
  2. Cut the white part of the spring onion into 2 cm pieces (the soft green bits tend to burn so keep them for use in another dish).
  3. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and thread on to bamboo skewers – chicken first then spring onion then chicken then spring onion them chicken again.
  4. Brush with a little oil and cook on the barbecue or in a frying pan or bake in the oven until cooked (about 10–15 minutes).
  5. If doing this on the BBQ, remove skewers from the BBQ and place in a dish, then brush with the yakitori sauce on both sides. Do this liberally three times and cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes in oven or in a warm place.
  6. If cooking in the oven, baste the chicken with the marinade a few times, returning to the oven for about a minute between each basting.
  7. Just before serving brush with the sauce again. Serve with steamed rice and greens.

TIP
This is a great way to use up the spring onions from the refrigerator that you can never find a use for before they go limp.

Salads are best served at room temperature. If making them in advance, take them out of the refrigerator in time to get to room temp.
