BBQ Chicken Yakitori Kebabs
RECIPE BY: Chef floWer
This dish could either be served as an appetiser (finger food) or as a main meal. It requests for shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) but you can use any soy sauce. I also used rice wine vinegar instead of sake as the kids were going to eat some as well. Preparation time includes one hour marinating. The recipe comes from a Reader's Digest - Summer BBQ Cookbook 2006
Posted on: Jan 17, 2007
Ingredients
Marinate
- 3 tablespoons shoyu (Japanese Soy Sauce) or soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sake or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons clear honey
Directions
1
Place the shoyu/soy, sake or sherry, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and honey in a shallow dish and stir together to mix. Add the chicken pieces and spoon the marinade over them. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.2
Preheat the barbecue flat plate. Soak 30 small bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 mins, to provent them from burning on the barbecue.3
Thread about 2 pieces of chicken onto the skewers, alternating with one piece of capsicum and one of spring onions, threaded widthways.4
Cook the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through, turning from time to time and brushing with the marinade.

Any recipe worthy of sending my husband outside in January to grill in CT must be quite a draw. Am I glad we tried this one. All of the flavors came through so wonderfully, none overpowering the other. I used red peppers for a more visually appealing meal and for a more subdued taste. Honey and ginger together outstanding. I only had regular soy sauce so this is what we used. Excellent. I will use this marinade for whole chicken breasts too.

Absolutely delicious kebabs, and so very simple to put together. I made it exactly as written directly on the BBQ, and they were finished in about 10 minutes. I'll make this one again, perhaps using more vegetables for the next time. I am envisioning asparagus and mushrooms! Thanks for a delicious meal Chef FloWer!

This was really tasty. I was a little concerned about the green onions holding up but they did wonderful. I let everything marinate for 4 hours and the flavors were amazing. We served them over Jasmine Rice. Thank you for posting such a great recipe.
