Chicken Yakitori
Nothing is quite like handling chicken skewers while enjoying a dinner party with your friends and watching a sports game together. Chicken yakitori is a Japanese chicken snacks that offer succulent and juicy chicken grilled until perfection. The traditional way to make chicken yakitori is to marinate the meat for 5-23 minutes. Then fry them with a charcoal grill to impact the unique smoky flavours. Then, the chef would submerge entire skewers into sweet soy sauce for a short dip. Once the skewers absorb the sauce, the yakitori is ready for consumption.
Chicken yakitori dates back to the Meiji era of Japan, in the 19th century. The first yakitori skewers were made using fowl meat, offal, and barbecued beef. In the 60s, the popularity of these fried chicken snacks rose exponentially, cementing its spot on the Japanese food scene.
