How to make Chicken Yakitori Recipe - Japanese Chicken Skewers
To begin making the Chicken Yakitori Recipe, wash and clean the chicken cubes.
Soak the wooden skewers, in a bowl of water for 15-20 minutes.
Into a mixing bowl, add the chicken, add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, black pepper powder, red wine, brown sugar and vinegar.
Mix well and set aside for a minimum of 30 minutes to marinate the chicken.
After 30 minutes, start putting the chicken on the skewers. Do not discard the marinade, set aside for later use.
Preheat a grill pan on medium flame. Brush with some oil, once the pan is nice and hot, place the Chicken Yakitori on it, and cook by turning their sides, ensuring the chicken is well cooked.
This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Once the Chicken Yakitori is cooked, remove from the grill pan and allow it to rest.
Mix the cornflour with water in a bowl to make a corn flour slurry.
Heat a shallow frying pan with oil on medium flame, add the garlic and saute till it turns into a light brown colour.
To the fried garlic, add the remaining marinade, and the chilli sauce and bring to a boil.
Once this sauce has come to a boil, add the cornflour slurry and wait for the sauce to thicken.
Once the sauce is thick, turn off the flame. Check the salt and seasonings and adjust according to taste. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl.
To serve, transfer the Chicken Yakitori to a serving platter, pour the sauce over it or in a bowl beside it and serve hot.
