Yaki Tori is the perfect dish to impress your family with delicious flavors and simple preparation that feels like a night out at a Japanese grill!

1

Start by cutting the chicken thigh into bite-sized cubes so they cook evenly on the grill. Make sure each piece is about 2.5 cm in size.

2

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and grated ginger to create a delicious marinade. Let this sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for optimal flavor.

4

While the chicken is marinating, soak bamboo skewers in water for about 10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

5

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat while you prepare the skewers.

6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green onion to add flavor.

7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

8

Keep an eye on the skewers and baste them with remaining marinade for extra flavor while they cook.

9

Once done, remove from the grill and let cool for a minute before serving.

• Try a spicy version by adding chili flakes to the marinade.
• Incorporate different protein sources like shrimp or tofu for a twist.
• Serve with a side of jasmine rice and a homemade dipping sauce for an authentic touch.

• For extra tenderness, let the chicken marinate overnight.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74 degrees Celsius (165 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Feel free to add other vegetables on the skewers like bell peppers or zucchini for variety.
