You can’t go wrong with a grilled skewer of glazed Yakitori chicken. This is a fairly traditional recipe that everyone loves. I used to use chicken breasts simple because they are so much easier to trim…but I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that chicken thighs are really far superior in this dish.
………………………………………..
1 cup lower-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon wasabi paste (or more to taste)
6 slices ginger, smashed
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2 bunches scallions, cut into 1 -inch pieces.
salt
coarse ground black pepper
In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, sugar, sesame oil, wasabi paste, ginger and garlic. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch and water until smooth then stir into the hot soy mixture. Simmer until thickened…another 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat and strain to remover garlic and ginger. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for dipping and the rest will be used to glaze the chicken while grilling.
Thread chicken onto skewers, alternating with scallions. Brush with oil and season very lightly with salt and pepper. (if using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak in water for at least 30 minutes before you skewer the chicken)
Over a medium hot grill (charcoal or gas), grill the skewers for 2 minutes on each side and then start basting with the sauce. Baste and turn the skewers several times to create a thick, glossy surface until cooked through. The whole grilling process takes about 10 minutes. Serve with reserved dipping sauce on the side.

Yummy!
Thighs RULE!
This looks so good. I’ve still not been able to really get behind chicken thighs, even though every chef in the world says I should like them more, something about the texture just puts me off. CHICKEN BREAST 4 LIFE!
Great recipe and that sauce of yours sounds fantastic.

It’s not easy being a super hero. Harder still to be a super monster. Just ask Dick Durock, the man whose task it was to bring DC Comics’ ‘Swamp Thing’ to life in two motion pictures and a three-season TV series, the latter of which is due out on DVD January 22nd. fake armani sunglasses

Wear boots that fit snuggly. As mentioned several times earlier, it is important that you set a balance in your entire look. Too much bulk will only ruin your wardrobe and this applies in the boots that you wear. Choose boots that are snug and fit just right on your feet and lower leg. ferraari sunglasses
