Cooking Time

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Set aside a small portion of the marinade for basting later.

Step 2: Marinating the Chicken

Place chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Preparing the Skewers

Soak bamboo skewers in water. Thread marinated chicken pieces and scallion sections onto the skewers.

Step 4: Preheating the Grill

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 180°C/350°F).

Step 5: Grilling the Skewers

Cook skewers on the grill for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently and basting with reserved marinade. Chicken is done when cooked through with a slight char.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot with a side of salad or rice.
