Ingredients

•24 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

•2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger

•2 cloves garlic, minced

•3 tablespoons honey (or a little less, if you haven't a sweet tooth)

•1/2 cup light (that is to say, low-sodium) soy sauce

•1/4 cup mirin or other rice wine

•1/4 cup sake

•Salt

•2 scallions, white and green parts, finely chopped

•Sesame oil for brushing

•2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Cooking Instructions

01
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, honey, garlic, ginger, and scallions and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened and maybe even a little glossy, 10 to 20 minutes. Strain the sauce into a bowl and set aside or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
02
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Unfold the thighs and, using a sharp knife, slice each thigh into strips about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. You should have about 72 strips, although the size and number of strips will depend on the size of thighs. (We’ve noticed that thighs on chickens tend to vary almost as widely as those on people, so if you end up with more or fewer strips, don’t worry.) Thread 3 or 4 chicken pieces onto each soaked skewer, without crowding them, then lightly season the chicken with salt and lightly brush them with the oil.
03
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat.
04
Brush and oil the grill grate.
05
Grill the chicken yakitori skewers directly over high heat, turning once, until well marked and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Arrange the skewers on a platter.
06
Brush or drizzle the chicken skewers with some of the honey sauce. Pass the remaining sauce on the side for drizzling and dipping at the table.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
