Japanese Chicken Skewers – Yakitori (Super Easy!)

Japanese Chicken Skewers

Japanese Chicken Skewers and a BIG GLASS OF BEER is the best way to celebrate the weekend!

Welcome to Day 6 of Cooking Street Foods for 15 Days, today we are making juicy, savory Japanese Chicken Skewers – Yakitori that is super easy to make at home! The homemade glaze is a perfect balance between sweet and savory and is coated all over juicy chicken skewers. If you are unsure what to make this weekend, trust me, Japanese Chicken Skewers is the way to go! 

Yakitori (Super Easy!)

If you never had Japanese Chicken Skewers before, you are missing out! The chicken is moist and juicy, while the glaze is packed with umami flavors.

There are many ways to enjoy Yakitori; you can grill them, bake them, pan-fry them, whatever is most comfortable for you. Because it is winter, I decided to pan-fry them instead. If you choose to bake them or grill them and use bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 1 hour before using them to prevent them from burning. 

Japanese Chicken Skewers - Yakitori

Here is the secret to the perfect Japanese Chicken Skewers, THE HOMEMADE SAUCE.

All you need is five simple ingredients, Soy Sauce, Mirin, Sake, Sugar, and Green Onion. Bring the ingredients to a simmer and let the sauce reduce in half. Your house will be smelling AMAZING while you are making the glaze. If you have extra sauce, you can also make other skewers such as salmon or shiitake mushrooms!  You can skip the Sake and Mirin and add replace with dashi stock or water and one extra tbsp of sugar for those that don’t drink alcohol. 

Yakitori

Nothing beats Yakitori and a big glass of beer on a Friday night. Chicken Skewers are the perfect drinking food that you can often find at Izakaya restaurants. You can eat Yakitori with other Japanese drinking sides such as Edamame, Chicken Wings or Yakisoba. Or you can pair these with some rice and vegetable for a healthy dinner!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.

Tiffy Cooks 🥟 Easy Recipes
I am SO excited to FINALLY share with you, after a I am SO excited to FINALLY share with you, after almost two years of hard work … my brand: kai dong! Even typing this caption right now … it still feels so surreal, and I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you for supporting me and making my dream come true. Without you, there wouldn’t be this brand. Thank you so so much for trusting me and my recipes … and I am so excited to share with you what I’ve been working on for the past two years … 

A year ago today, I shared that I was starting my own brand from scratch. It is not a brand deal, not a collab, not something I just slapped my name on. This is a product line I can proudly say was developed from the ground up, and we spent months perfecting every little detail. I wanted to make sure that it was something that YOU would love. 

Rather than creating just an instant noodle brand, I wanted to create a line where, within 5 products, you can create MULTIPLE different recipes, from the perfect bowl of spicy garlic noodles to my grandma’s soul-warming wonton soup. These products can instantly transform any dish with easy-to-follow recipes! I even made a free e-book with 12 recipes so we can all cook together at home! 

The most special part about this brand … is the chance to share a piece of my culture with you. I decided to fly back to my home to find the perfect ingredients for every item in the kai dong line! Every product was sourced and developed from Taiwan to ensure we deliver the incredible flavors of Asia straight to your kitchen! From Yilan’s famous scallions to the best hand-cut sun-dried noodles I’ve ever had. It was so important to me to share a piece of my culture and give you the same feeling I felt every time I slurped a bowl of noodles in Asia. 

We edited 300 hours of footage into a 20-minute documentary, sharing everything from start to finish and also giving you a sneak peak of the product line. I am hosting a giveaway there, so please, please, please make sure to go check it out :) 

kai dong means let’s eat … and I hope you are ready to eat! 

Love, 

Tiffy
