Love Yakitori and we love skewers making this the perfect recipe to try at our house. Like Pneuma used chicken breasts and found it a delicious version of Yakitori. Not having mirin on hand I used a white wine which worked for me - will be sure to have it next time around. Setting the recipe aside to use for starters the next itme we do a get together. Thank you djmastermum. -
So EASY to do, REALLY is a TERRIFIC recipe too! Love the combination, healthy as can be! Best of all? I LOVE sake! :) Thanks! -
This is different from the other yakitori I tried but delicious as well in its own right. Used chicken breast here and love it with the onions. I also used some of the extra sauce as dip and will use the rest to make another batch again. Alternating the onions and chicken gave an appetizing look to the recipe. :D Thanks for sharing this, djmastermum! Made and reviewed for Asia's Let's Get Skewered Tag Game 2008. -
Fantastic and EASY! The green onions are to-die-for..the basting sauce makes them so delicious and each bite with onion and chicken together is incredible! We used chicken breast to cut down on fat grams which made it a tiny bit dry; I'm sure it would be much better with the thighs as recommended. Also we cooked them directly on the grill, not on a foil-lined tray. Made for the "Let's Get Skewered" game in the Asian forum.
