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

600gchicken thigh, cubed
1/2 cuptare glaze (soy, mirin, sugar)
4spring onion, cut into pieces
12skewers

Instructions

1

Thread chicken and spring onion pieces alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so they cook evenly and char rather than steam.

2

Grill or broil over high heat, turning every couple of minutes and basting with tare each time you turn.

3

Keep layering the basting so the sauce builds into a lacquered coating rather than just sitting on top.

4

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.
