Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut chicken into uniform 11/2-inch pieces.
  2. Place garlic and ginger in large zip lock bag. Crush with rolling pin (or wine bottle!) Add the remaining liquid ingredients. With a measuring cup scoop out 1/2 cup; set aside. Add the 1 teaspoon of peanut oil to the marinade in the zip lock bag (this helps the meat not stick on grill) Marinade chicken for 2-4 hours in refrigerator.
  3. On each skewer, thread alternating pieces of chicken and scallions, pressing them together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
  4. Take reserved 1/2 cup of marinade and place over medium heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes .Strain into small bowl and cool to room temperature
  5. Heat an outdoor charcoal grill. Position the skewers 4 to 5 inches from the heat source, placing yakitori on grill so that ends of skewers are not over direct heat. Sear meat by continually turning skewers for about 2 minutes. Baste with sauce and turn occasionally until chicken is cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. When chicken is done it should feel firm. Take off heat and immediately glaze with reduced sauce. Serve with cucumber & sesame salad on side.
