Izakaya Yakitori (with sauce recipe)
Ingredients
- Chicken thighs 4 pcs
- Green onions 2 roots
- Sauce
- Miridin 40g
- Honey 22g
- Light soy sauce 20g
- Sake 20g
- Muyu flower 4g or bonito powder 1g
- Ginger (you can also use green onions and garlic) 2g
- Pineapple (pineapple skin can also be used, but can be omitted) 45g
Steps
1. Make barbecue sauce one day in advance. Boil all other ingredients in the sauce except pineapple.
2. Take 45g of pineapple. The bromelain in pineapple can make the surface of the chicken more tender. Refrigerate overnight. Place the chicken in the refrigerator to defrost. P.S. Bromelain has many uses, those interested
3. Make chicken skewers the next day. Cut green onions into sections.
4. Use a knife to cut a circle on the smaller end of the chicken leg.
5. There is one large muscle and several small muscles on the chicken leg.
6. Insert the scissors into the chicken leg and cut away from the small muscle area.
7. Peel off the meat. This way you can get a complete chicken by taking apart the chicken legs.The meat, skin side down, is also great when fried.
8. Izakaya usually sells grilled chicken skin skewers. If the chicken skin is already loose, peel it off and cut it into long strips to make grilled chicken skin skewers.
9. Cut the chicken legs into strips about one centimeter wide in the direction of the muscle length
10. String together.
11. Take out the sauce from the refrigerator and filter it.
12. Turn on high heat. When the pot is so hot that water beads are rolling in the pot, grease it with oil and add the meat skewers.
13. Turn to medium heat. After all sides are browned, add some water, about 50ml, and cover the pot.
14. Simmer for 1 minute. Then open the lid and wait for the water vapor to evaporate. Then start frying the next batch. Fry everything until cooked and spread with sauce.
15. Apply the sauce and fry over medium-low heat for a while.
16. Delicious and comfortable. The green onions are sweet and crispy, and the chicken is tender and fragrant. It would be even better if it can be grilled over charcoal! ! <(▰˘◡˘▰)>
Tips
- If you use an oven, preheat it to 200°C, then place the chicken in the top rack and bake in hot air for about 10 minutes. After the surface is browned, spread the sauce and bake for 5 minutes. If the inside is not cooked enough, heat it in the microwave.
