Categories     quick, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound chicken livers, gizzards or boneless thigh meat
1/2 cup dark soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons sake or dry sherry
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into one-inch pieces and place in a shallow dish.
  • In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce or tamari, mirin, sake or sherry, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes, until thickened. Reserve 2 tablespoons sauce for serving. Pour remaining sauce over chicken, cover, and chill for at least one hour (and up to 4 hours).
  • If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water for one hour. Preheat grill or broiler. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, and grill or broil, turning halfway, for about 3 minutes for livers, 10 minutes for gizzards and 6 minutes for thighs. Serve drizzled with reserved sauce and garnished with scallions.

I'm not a big fan of soy sauce, so I used a different sauce instead.

I didn't have any ginger on hand, so I used garlic powder instead. It still turned out great!

I would recommend marinating the chicken for longer than the recipe suggests.
