Easy Chicken Yakitori
Charred, glazed chicken skewers straight from a Japanese izakaya — the sticky tare glaze is what makes these, so build it up in layers as you grill rather than dousing the chicken once.
Ingredients
Instructions
Thread chicken and spring onion pieces alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so they cook evenly and char rather than steam.
Grill or broil over high heat, turning every couple of minutes and basting with tare each time you turn.
Keep layering the basting so the sauce builds into a lacquered coating rather than just sitting on top.
Cook until the chicken is glazed, charred at the edges and cooked through, 10-12 minutes total. Rest for a minute before serving so the glaze sets slightly.
