My family says "It looks more like the real thing if it's on a skewer..." but as the person making it, this is way easier!
If it's easy, I'll be made more often, so they'll have to live with the lack of skewers.
I do occasionally skewer the meat the proper way though.

If you grill the chicken for too long, it will get tough, so just cook it enough.
Adjust the amount of katakuriko to make the sauce as thick as you like.
(If you think it needs to be thicker, put it back in the frying pan with katakuriko dissolved in water and adjust.) For 4 servings. Recipe by Hokkori-no
