Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Mix all marinade ingredients together.
  • Pierce each chicken breast with fork several times.
  • Marinate chicken breasts in marinade several hours.
  • Cook on greased grill over medium heat 10 minutes or until done.

Tips:

  • For the best yakitori, use high-quality chicken thighs or breasts. Boneless, skinless thighs are the most forgiving cut, but you can also use breasts if you prefer. Just be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables for your yakitori. Common options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. You can also use cherry tomatoes, pineapple, or any other vegetables that you like.
  • Skewer the chicken and vegetables tightly so that they don't fall apart when you grill them. You can use metal or bamboo skewers, but be sure to soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning.
  • Grill the yakitori over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.
  • Baste the yakitori with the reserved marinade while it is grilling. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Yakitori is a delicious and easy-to-make Japanese dish that is perfect for summer grilling. With a variety of marinades and vegetables to choose from, you can create yakitori that is customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give yakitori a try. You won't be disappointed!
