Grilled Chicken and Asparagus Yakitori Skewers
These delightful Japanese-style chicken and asparagus skewers, affectionately known as Yakitori, are grilled to tender perfection and coated in a luscious sweet and savory glaze. They're an ideal choice for a quick weeknight meal or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Let's cook.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the glaze. Set aside.
Thread alternating pieces of chicken and asparagus onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
