Quick Skillet Yakitori Negima-Style Chicken and Scallions

Make yakitori negima (chicken and scallion skewers) right in a skillet! By cooking the scallions separately, you get the perfect texture. This dish is great as both an appetizer and a main course.
Recipe background:
When I made my usual teriyaki sauce a bit stronger, my family said it tasted just like yakitori. I thought about making yakitori, but decided to keep it simple and use a skillet instead. I wanted to keep the scallions crisp, so I cooked them separately in the pan.
Quick Skillet Yakitori Negima-Style Chicken and Scallions

Recipe background:
When I made my usual teriyaki sauce a bit stronger, my family said it tasted just like yakitori. I thought about making yakitori, but decided to keep it simple and use a skillet instead. I wanted to keep the scallions crisp, so I cooked them separately in the pan.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the scallion into pieces about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches long. Cut the chicken into large bite-sized pieces. (I used pre-cut pieces for fried chicken.)
- 2
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake.
- 3
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion pieces and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
- 4
Reduce the heat to low. Place the chicken pieces skin-side down in the same skillet. Once the skin is browned, flip the pieces over.
- 5
When the other side is browned and the chicken is cooked through, return the scallions to the pan. Pour in the sauce mixture and increase the heat to high.
- 6
Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and scallions. Serve hot. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) if you like.

For about 3 servings. Recipe by sweet89 cookpad.japan -
Easy Yakitori at Home Easy Yakitori at Home
My family loves yakitori. Since there are lots of hungry boys in my family, it can get expensive to eat out. That's why we try to make it at home.Please adjust the sweetness of the sauce. When the chicken is freshly cooked, dip in the sauce. It prevents the chicken from getting dry. The oil that drips off the chicken when you dip the skewers in it gradually adds flavor to the sauce. You can pour the leftover sauce on top later, use it for a stir-fry, or pour it over rice. For 30 skewers. Recipe by Keikunno okusan cookpad.japan -

Simple, Plump & Soft Chicken Tender Yakitori Simple, Plump & Soft Chicken Tender Yakitori
The chicken tender yakitori I had at a yakitori restaurant was really delicious!In order to make the chicken tenders bought at the supermarket tender and delicious, I flavor it with Chinese soup stock (chicken soup stock) and soak it in sake!Don't overcook the tenders! The key is to cook them soft.I like sesame oil, but if you want a lighter taste you can leave it out and it's still plenty delicious.If you don't have chicken soup stock, etc, salt is OK.If you don't have time you can reduce the marinating time to 10 minutes.
