Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Soak your skewers in cold water (this prevents them from burning whilst cooking)
2
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and grate the ginger
Peel and grate the garlic
3
Add the toasted sesame oil, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, grated garlic and honey to a bowl – this is your yakitori sauce
4
Cut the chicken breast[s] into bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped chicken to a separate bowl with 3/4 of the yakitori sauce (save the rest for dipping later) stir well – this is your marinated chicken
5
Thread the marinated chicken equally across the soaked skewers and add them to a baking tray
Tip: use baking paper to avoid mess!
6
Pour any remaining chicken marinade over the skewers
Put the tray in the oven for 12-15 min or until the sauce has caramelised and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
7
Meanwhile, trim, then finely slice the spring onions
