Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- ¼ cup mirin
- ¼ cup sake
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 3 green onions (cut into 1½ inch pieces)
- Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Thread chicken thigh pieces and chopped green onions onto soaked skewers, alternating between chicken and green onion.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Brush with some prepared sauce. Turn the skewers and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, brushing again with the sauce.
- Continue cooking and turning the skewers for a total of 8 to 10 minutes, brushing with sauce each time, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from grill and brush one last time with the sauce before serving.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Use low sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
