Ingredients
Method
- 1. Place the garlic, spring onion, soy, mirin, cooking sake, water and brown sugar into a small pot and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally until it reduces by half.
- 2. Meanwhile, heat your grill, or barbecue.
- 3. Thread the chicken onto the top 1/3 of the skewers, making sure that the pieces are not too tightly bunched together*.
- 4. Barbecue or grill the chicken until cooked through, turning occasionally. You're looking for it to get a slight char (or smoke if you're cooking over coals) and be completely cooked all the way into the centre.
- 5. Arrange warm skewers on a platter or plate in a single layer and brush on sticky sauce to serve.
Notes
*Soaking the bamboo skewers will prevent the skewers from burning when you cook the chicken.
**Overcrowding the chicken skewers will cause make it harder to cook the chicken through.
***If you're sensitive to the raw smell of chicken, you can also marinade a the chicken cubes for 10min with a splash of sake before skewering.
