Hello, I’m Lucy. Today, I’m excited to share a delicious Japanese classic—
Yakitori, grilled chicken skewers glazed with a savory-sweet sauce. This version features juicy chicken thighs and Tokyo negi, making it simple, satisfying, and perfect for recreating at home.
Ingredients: Soy sauce 🍶 Mirin 🍶 Sake 🍶 Brown sugar 🍬 Chicken thighs 🍗 Green onions 🧅 Cooking oil 🛢️ Shichimi togarashi 🌶️ (optional)
Quick Prep: Start by chopping the green onions and simmering the sauce until thick. Then, cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and skewer them with scallions. Broil the skewers
, basting them with the sauce until glossy and lightly charred. Each step brings out the flavors that make yakitori so addictive.
The result is irresistible—crispy edges, tender chicken, and a rich umami glaze that caramelizes under the broiler. Add a pinch of shichimi togarashi for a spicy finish. “The sauce is better than restaurant yakitori!” as one fan commented.
You can also customize this with mushrooms or switch the chicken for pork or beef. Whether you're making it on a grill or in the oven, it’s easy to enjoy yakitori at home.
