Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the long onion into pieces about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) long. If the stalks are thin, use as is. If thick, cut in half lengthwise, remove the core, and roll up the white part to use.
- 2
Combine all the sauce ingredients. If using corn syrup and it doesn't dissolve easily, microwave at 600W for 1 minute to help it blend.
- 3
Corn syrup gives the sauce a unique gloss and flavor, but you can use sugar instead. If using sugar, just mix—no need to microwave.
- 4
Lay the chicken thighs flat and cut each into 5 strips.
- 5
Cut each strip into 4–5 pieces. You'll need 3 pieces per skewer, so aim for about 24 pieces per thigh.
- 6
Thread a smaller piece of chicken onto a bamboo skewer, then a piece of long onion, then a larger piece of chicken, another piece of long onion, and finish with another small piece of chicken. Pack them tightly with no gaps.
- 7
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 8 skewers. Sear for 2 minutes until browned.
- 8
Flip the skewers. If they have a nice golden color, they're ready for the next step.
- 9
Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5 minutes to cook the chicken through.
- 10
Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 8 skewers.
- 11
Add the sauce to the same skillet used for the yakitori. Heat over medium. If cooking in batches, use half the sauce each time.
- 12
The sauce will bubble and thicken as it simmers. When it smells caramelized and looks glossy, it's ready.
- 13
Return the skewers to the skillet (for 8 at a time).
- 14
If making all 16 at once and your skillet is large enough, add them all together at this step.
- 15
As the sauce thickens, it will become glossy and sticky, and the color will deepen like caramel. Quickly coat both sides of the skewers, then turn off the heat.
- 16
Watch closely at the end, as the sauce can burn easily. Let it get just to the edge of caramelizing for the best flavor and appearance.
- 17
Arrange the skewers on a plate, pour any remaining sauce from the skillet over them, and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi if you like. Enjoy them hot and fresh!

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 -

Yakitori in a Frying Pan (How to Prepare Tender Chicken) Yakitori in a Frying Pan (How to Prepare Tender Chicken)
I love homemade yakitori, but I hate the smoke filling the house after making them. I use a frying pan to resolve this problem. Marinate the chicken with sake first to make it tender even after sautéing in a frying pan. My yakitori sauceis also homemade, of course.Marinating chicken in sake makes it very tender, so marinate it for at least 30 minutes. Remove the excess fat when sautéing the chicken with kitchen paper and you will have lighter chicken. Grilling a whole piece of chicken thigh and cutting into bite-sized pieces is another option to make tasty chicken yakitori. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei -
