Tips:

  • Select the Right Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts for succulent and juicy yakitori.
  • Marinate the Chicken Thoroughly: Marinating the chicken overnight or for at least 30 minutes infuses it with lovely Thai flavors.
  • Use Bamboo Skewers: Bamboo skewers are traditional for yakitori and prevent the chicken from spinning while grilling.
  • Grill Over Medium Heat: Grill the chicken over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Baste the Chicken Regularly: Basting the chicken with the reserved marinade or a mixture of soy sauce and water keeps it moist and flavorful.
  • Make the Peanut Sauce Ahead: Prepare the peanut sauce in advance to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve with a Variety of Toppings: Offer an array of toppings like chopped peanuts, cilantro, lime wedges, and cucumber slices for a customizable yakitori experience.
