Steps

1

Finely chop the green onion (scallion).
2

In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped green onion, potato starch, soy sauce, and sake. Mix thoroughly by hand until the mixture becomes sticky.
3

Shape the mixture onto bamboo skewers. If it's too sticky, press it onto the skewers on a cutting board to help it stick.
4

Microwave the skewers for about 3 minutes, until the color turns white and they are mostly set.
5

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6

Arrange the skewers on a broiler pan and broil for 3–4 minutes, checking for browning.
7

Once browned, turn the skewers over and broil for another 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
