★Thanks for 300 reviews★ Even chicken tenders, which can often be dry, become tender and juicy when grilled! The secret flavors of chicken stock and sesame oil give it a rich taste!
The origin of this recipe
I once had chicken skewers with wasabi at a yakitori restaurant, and they were incredibly delicious! To make affordable chicken tenders from the supermarket soft and tasty, I marinated them well with Chinese chicken stock and added sesame oil for flavor.
