Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons white sugar
⅔ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake
¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken, and pat dry. In a glass baking dish or bowl, stir together the ginger, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, sake and mirin. Place the chicken into the mixture to marinate. Refrigerate, covered for several hours, or overnight.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken pieces into the pan skin-side down, reserving marinade. Cook until light brown, then flip and brown the other side. Drain off grease, and pour the marinade into the pan.
  • Cover, and reduce heat to low, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking, shaking the skillet occasionally, until marinade is reduced to a nice thick sauce and chicken pieces are fully cooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my yakitori don didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too salty.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce.
