The Art of Crafting Tokyo-Style Yakitori at Home
In short: Discover how to recreate a staple Japanese afterwork favorite in your own kitchen. This guide breaks down the technique for balancing charred textures with a reduced savory glaze.
Yakitori is traditionally enjoyed as an evening treat paired with cold beer. To achieve authentic results, start by cubing 2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken thighs and marinating them in oil, salt, and pepper before threading them onto skewers.
The cooking process relies on two distinct stages: high-heat grilling and sauce reduction. The video demonstrates how to grill the skewers over direct heat with the lid closed to achieve a charred exterior, followed by basting with a sauce that must be boiled until reduced by half.
