Method

1

Cut the Chicken Thighs into 1–1.5 inch bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.

2

Trim and cut the Scallions into 1.5–2 inch lengths so you can alternate them with the chicken on the skewers.

3

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning; then thread the chicken and scallion pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.

4

Make the tare (glaze): combine 1/2 cup Soy Sauce, 1/4 cup Mirin, 1/4 cup Sake and 2–3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and reduce over medium-low heat for 5–8 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5

Lightly season the skewers with a small pinch of Fine Salt just before grilling.

6

Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high and oil the grates or rack. Place the skewers on the grill and cook about 2–3 minutes per side until they begin to brown and are nearly cooked through.

7

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the tare and turn frequently, allowing the glaze to caramelize without burning. Repeat basting 2–3 times for a glossy, sticky finish.

8

Serve the yakitori hot, with extra tare on the side for dipping and an optional final sprinkle of Fine Salt to taste.
