A popular snack in Japan!
Preparation:
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer at low heat for 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced by one third. Set aside.
- Clean and cut the leeks / spring onions and asparagus into 3 cm long pieces.
- Cut each chicken thigh into six chunks and thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto the bamboo skewers.
- Grill on the barbecue, in the griddle pan or in the oven grill (medium heat) and brush the skewers several times generously with the sauce.
- When the chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside, serve with any left over sauce.
Useful tip:
Yakitori also taste delicious when made with tuna or pork fillet.
