CHICKEN YAKITORI

Steps:

• For the chicken: place the chicken, peppers and scallions in a shallow non corrosive dish, season and set aside.
• For the marinade: mix all the ingredients together. Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight or for at least a couple of hours.
• In a separate shallow dish, cover 8 wooden skewers with water and leave to soak for as long as the chicken marinates.
• When ready to cook, thread the chicken and vegetables (not the scotch bonnet chili) onto the skewers and discard the marinade. Mix together the teriyaki sauce and honey and brush a little over the skewers.
• Light a barbecue or heat a griddle pan until smoking. Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes, brushing every so often with the teriyaki sauce and turning regularly to ensure they brown evenly. Serve as canapé-style nibbles, or with noodles as a main meal.

BBQ CHICKEN YAKITORI KEBABS

Steps:

• 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.
• Preheat the barbecue flat plate. Soak 30 small bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 mins, to provent them from burning on the barbecue.
• Thread about 2 pieces of chicken onto the skewers, alternating with one piece of capsicum and one of spring onions, threaded widthways.
• Cook the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through, turning from time to time and brushing with the marinade.

YAKITORI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken thigh meat into 3/4 inch cubes. Cut the scallions crosswise into 3/4 inch pieces. Heat the grill. Thread chicken and scallion pieces onto the skewers, alternately.
• Make the Sauce: In a small pot combine the saki, mirin, garlic, ginger, red pepper, sugar and soy sauces. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until sauce is reduced by about one quarter.
• Grill the skewers for 2 minutes. Brush with sauce and turn, brush with sauce on the other side. Grill for 5-8 minutes more, brushing with sauce every 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and glazed.
• If you can find these ingredients, serve yakitori with sansho and Japanese 7 spice to sprinkle on top.
