Yakitori (broiled chicken)

Materials

For marinating and tare:

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup mirin

¼ cup sake

¼ cup water

2 tablespoon shiokoji if available

2 teaspoon sugar

Main ingredients:

1 pound boneless chicken, cut to bite size

8 green onion, cut to 2 inch long

Tool

Banboo skewers

 

Cooking

In a ziplock bag, mix the materials for marinating and tare. Put the cut chicken and close the zip lock. Place it at a warm temperature up to 40 C or 104 F for 2 to 4 hours. A place of this condition can be found easily in the oven: turn on the oven for baking at 350F, and turn off 2 minutes later. Ovens are well insulated, so the temperature keeps very well. Put the chicken in the ziplock in the oven and keep staying there for 4 hours. If the temperature of the oven comes down in a couple of hours, repeat truning on for 2 minutes and turn off.

 

Pour the marinating liquid to a sauce pan and heat until the volume reduced to a half. After it cools down, add a teaspoon of cornstarch and mix well. Heat at a low intensity until the liquid becomes viscous. This is tare.

 

Put bamboo skewer through chicken and green onion alternatingly. Put them on a cooking tray, and broil in the oven at a high temperature.  Take out of oven every five minutes and coat the chicken and onion with the tare using a brush. Stop broiling when the chicken and onion are slightly browned.
