Time 8h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
2 teaspoons sesame oil, or more to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ medium lemon, juiced
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
3 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 medium zucchini, cut into rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 slices fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste
skewers, as needed
To Thicken Sauce:
½ cup cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Whisk soy sauce, mirin, olive oil, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl. Transfer 1/4 of the marinade to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Place remaining marinade in a zip-top bag and add chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the refrigerator.
  • Combine bell peppers, onion, and zucchini in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Make the kabobs by alternating chicken with bell peppers, pineapple, onion, and zucchini. Drizzle some of the sauce from the zip-top bag onto the kabobs.
  • Cook on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes and drizzling any remaining sauce from the bag over top, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • About 10 minutes before the skewers are done, mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Put the 1/4 cup reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add cornstarch-water mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 7 to 8 minutes.

NEGIMA (GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH GREEN ONION)



Negima (Grilled Chicken Skewers With Green Onion) image

Negima-chicken grilled on a skewer with green onion or scallion-is one of the most popular yakitori dishes in Japan and beyond.

Provided by Hiroko Shimbo

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 chicken wings
¾ cup sake
1⅓ cups mirin
3 Tbsp. sugar
1⅓ cups shoyu (soy sauce)
1 boneless chicken thigh, with or without skin attached
1 boneless chicken breast, with or without skin attached
4 naganegi or scallion, or young, thin leeks, white parts only

Steps:

  • Soak 12 bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the tare. In a broiler or on a grill, cook the chicken wings until they are charred over about half their surfaces. In a medium pot, bring the sake and mirin to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sugar, and cook until the sugar is dissolved, stirring. Add the shoyu and chicken wings, and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy. Strain the sauce through a strainer lined with cotton cloth-chicken wings can be eaten as a cook's treat or saved for another purpose. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for as long as a month. Reheat the tare before using it, and once every week between uses.
  • Cut the chicken thigh and breast into small pieces, about 1 by 1¼ inches. Cut the white part of each green onion into 1¼-inch lengths. Thread two pieces of chicken thigh or breasts and three pieces of long onion or leek alternately on each skewer. When using chicken with skin, folding the edges of the skin, and tuck them between the chicken meat and the long onion or leek to prevent the skin from burning.
  • Heat a grill or broiler until hot. Cook the skewered chicken and green onion for 4 minutes, turning the skewers several times. Remove the chicken from the heat, and, with a pastry brush, baste it with tare.
  • Return the chicken to the heat, and cook for 2 minutes, turning the skewers several times. Remove the chicken from the heat, and baste again.
  • Return the chicken to the heat, and cook it for 2 minutes, turning it. Remove the chicken from the heat, baste it once more, and serve it hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for kabobs. They are tender and cook evenly.
  • Cut the chicken into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can get creative and try something different.
  • Skewer the chicken: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the chicken pieces. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken kabobs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Baste the chicken with marinade or sauce during grilling to keep them moist.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for summer cookouts. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken kabobs are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. So fire up your grill and get grilling!
