3 tbsp
2 tbsp
2 tbsp
1 tbsp
1 tbsp

boneless chicken, cubed

Japanese soy sauce
sake
mirin

Method:

1. Mix sake and soy sauce together. Add mirin, sugar, grated ginger, garlic and honey. Mix well and bring to a low simmering boil for 10 - 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

2. Put chicken pieces into the marinate, turning them so that they are coated all over. Leave them to stand in the marinade for at least an hour or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

3. Skewer the marinated chicken cubes with the bamboo skewers and grill or roast in a preheated oven at 200⁰C for 10- 15 minutes. Turn the skewers over and roast for a further 6 - 7 minutes, brushing them occasionally with the marinade.

4. When done, serve the Yakitori chicken skewers immediately with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.
