Ingredients
½ cup sake or white wine
¼ cup mirin or 2 tablespoons honey mixed with 2 tablespoons water
½ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
Lemon wedges
Preparation
- Step 1
Start charcoal or gas grill, or heat broiler. Fire should be very hot, with rack set not more than 4 inches from heat source, preferably somewhat less. Combine first 4 ingredients in small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about a minute, stirring. Remove from heat.
- Step 2
Skewer chicken pieces, leaving a little space between them. Brush once, lightly, with sauce.
- Step 3
Grill, basting frequently but lightly (to prevent sauce from dripping directly onto coals), and turning skewers as chicken browns. Total cooking time will be less than 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Delicious. Simple, strait forward Chicken Yakitori. Reminded us fondly of our trip to Japan.
