Lazy ‘Yakitori’
Hiroko Liston @hirokoliston
Why lazy? Because they are not on skewers. Sometime I want to eat ‘Yakitori’ but I don’t want to bother making them. If it is just for myself or family dinner, this is good enough, isn’t it?
My favourite ‘Yakitori’ is ‘Negima’, Chicken & Spring Onion, seasoned with just salt and pepper. The lazy version tastes almost the same. See my ‘Yakitori’ recipe for a proper method.

Easy Yakitori with a Skillet and Broiler Easy Yakitori with a Skillet and Broiler
Thank you for the 40 reports! This is an easy yakitori recipe where you cook the chicken in a skillet without skewers, then finish it under the broiler to get that classic grilled look. My kids loved it and said it was delicious!Recipe background:When I went shopping, my youngest kept begging for yakitori—'Buy yakitori! I want yakitori!'—but since it's expensive to buy, I decided to make it myself (haha). Just cooking it in a skillet didn't give it that grilled look, so I tried finishing it under the broiler, and my kids were thrilled with the result!

Yakitori-Style Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Yakitori-Style Teriyaki Chicken Thigh
I wanted something cheap yet fulfilling for my kids who love yakitori. They ate it all up.Be careful not to over-boil, as this will toughen the meat.After the chicken is cooked and chopped, you may put it back in the sauce. This is good for times when the meat is still not completely cooked through.You can also put garlic in the oil when frying the chicken. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mamaushi

★Lazy Yakitori★ No Skewers! Chicken Thighs and Scallions ★Lazy Yakitori★ No Skewers! Chicken Thighs and Scallions
Since we end up taking the chicken off the skewers anyway, why not just skip them from the start? That’s how this recipe came to be!Recipe background:My family says, “It feels more authentic with skewers,” but honestly, this way is so much easier for the cook! The easier it is, the more often it shows up on our dinner table—so I hope they don’t mind. Sometimes I’ll make it the traditional way with skewers, though!

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 -
Homemade Yakitori Homemade Yakitori
This yakitori is easy and quick to make—just grill the chicken until it’s nicely charred, then coat it in sauce in a skillet. The flavor is just like what you’d get at a yakitori restaurant!Recipe background:I always made yakitori this way, so I decided to write it down. Making the sauce like caramel is simple, but it gives a rich, glossy finish with just the right thickness.
