Directions
Yakitori,Grilled chicken skewers popular in Japan. Chicken thigh meat, green onion, chicken liver, hearts, gizzards, chicken skin can be prepared this way. It tastes best cooked over charcoal. Mirin is a sweet Japanese sake (rice wine). Ordinary sake may be substituted for the mirin, with additional sugar. Translated from Shinkatei Hyakkajiten Vol. 1, Kodan-sha, 1967, with adaptations by me. The garlic is from a suggestion from a person selling this by the side of the street. Use standard American cups. Please use a roomy saucepan for the sauce, as it has a tendency to boil over. Watch both sauce preparation and meat grilling carefully.,Yum, this was super delicious. I cheated a little by using whole chicken thighs, I grilled them over direct heat at first then moved them off and used indirect. I didn’t pay attention and over grilled my green onions but the centers were still tasty. Made for Culinary Quest 2016 by one of the Iota Eta Pi,This is an easy, fast and delicious recipe. I marinated the chicken for about 3 hours. Then grilled it. Then boiled down the left over marinate to pour over the rice but we really did not need it. The chicken was already flavorful. Thank you
