Tips & Secrets

  • Using chicken thighs instead of breast is the secret to achieving the authentic juicy and flavorful Japanese texture.
  • Basting the sauce only during the last few minutes of grilling prevents the sugars in the sauce from burning.
  • Alternating chicken with scallions provides a delightful sweetness and textural contrast found in traditional Yakitori.
  • Ensure the skewers are fully soaked; this step prevents them from breaking during high-heat cooking.
