What is Yakitori?

Yakitori is a Japanese dish of chicken pieces, marinated in a mixture of light soy sauce, sugar, and mirin (I used sushi seasoning as I ran out).

Yakitori literally means Grilled Chicken.

How to Marinade yakitori chicken?

Boneless chicken pieces were usually used to make chicken yakitori.

However, I used chicken wings instead, and not chicken pieces, because this was an impromptu cook-out! 
We had charcoal fire going in our barbecue pit and not to wanting to waste, I quickly marinade chicken wings.
I do not have time to cut and marinade chicken pieces! 

Nevertheless, the result was still delicious.

Cook yakitori sauce above until slightly thicken, put aside to completely cool.

Pour the marinade over and marinate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.

What goes well with Yakitori?

Yakitori is a popular street food in Japan hence meant to be finger food, snack, food on the go kind of thing!

I love to have my steam rice with my Yakitori Chicken wings, perhaps with a bowl of miso soup to wash down after.
