Konro Yakitori Chicken Skewers

Grilled chicken skewers

The Konro's narrow heat channel is ideal for skewers. Chicken thigh stays juicy while the glaze caramelises.

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 600g boneless chicken thigh, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 8-10 bamboo skewers, soaked
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake (or dry sherry)
  • 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • Spring onions, cut into short lengths (optional)

Method

  1. Simmer soy, mirin, sake and sugar until slightly syrupy. Cool.
  2. Thread chicken (and spring onion if using) onto skewers. Brush lightly with glaze.
  3. Grill over glowing coals, turning often, brushing with more glaze in the last minutes.
  4. Serve when the edges are sticky and lightly charred.

Tip: Leave space between pieces so the heat can reach every side.
