Description

Succulent grilled chicken skewers marinated in a savory sauce, perfect for gatherings and guaranteed to impress your guests with their rich flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and brown sugar until smooth. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring even spacing for cooking.
  4. Grill Time!: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes for even charring.
  5. Glaze It Up: Brush additional marinade onto skewers in the last few minutes of grilling.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer yakitori to a platter and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
