I can't believe I haven't written a review for this yet! This has become a go to recipe for me for over a year a now. It's easy, quick and, the best part, I usually have all the ingredients on hand. This is great with steamed or sauteed green beans or grilled veggies and rice ( with some of the extra sauce on the rice). If I'm feeling especially lazy, I don't skewer the chicken and just grill the thighs whole. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for the recipe, mianbao! This is a great recipe! The yakitori was very close to the ones I had in Japan with my husband. My husband couldn't stop praising this dish I made for him! I marinated the chicken with some sea salt and ground black pepper before broiling them in the oven. I also used sake with additional sugar in replace of mirin. One warning though, don't use chicken breast as they are very dry after they are broiled in the oven. Will definitely make it again pretty soon!

This is just like what I have gotten from our favorite Japanese restaurant. The only thing I did differently was only add 1tbs of the sugar as I found the mirin to be sweet enough. We really enjoyed this served with tempura and sushi rice. Thanks!
