Yakitori ( Seasoned Chicken on Skewers)

1. 1

   Thread chicken and vegetables onto eight bamboo skewers, leaving space between pieces to allow even cooking.

2. 2

   Cook in batches, on heated oiled grill plate or barbecue, turning and brushing with sauce occasionally until browned all over and cooked through.

3. 3

   Serve yakitori sprinkled with Japanese pepper.

4. 4

   SAUCE- Combine ingredients in small saucepan, bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Reduce heat and simmer uncovered over medium heat until sauce reduces by a third, cool.

6. 6

   TIPS- Bottled yakitori sauce can be bought from Asian grocery stores.

7. 7

   The sauce can be used as a marinade for the chicken before cooking, but cook chicken on medium heat so marinade does not burn before meat cooks through.

8. 8

   You can substitute seven-spice mix (shichimi togarashi) for Japanese pepper (sansho powder).
