Yakitori Chicken Wings

Today, I introduce to you my favorite sauce - Yakitori Sauce! Yakitori sauce is like a sweet soy sauce and is very popular in Japan. Typically, you will find it on skewered chicken cooked over a grill. Yakitori is hidden gem. Most people think of Japanese food as being Sushi, Tempura, and Green Tea (Maccha), but Yakitori is also popular. Usually we use soy sauce, sugar, Japanese cooking sake and rice wine. Unfortunately, some ingredients are not popular and hard to find in the U.S. Not to worry, because I re-arranged the recipe to make it easier for you! The ingredients you need are soy sauce, sugar, and white wine. Only three ingredients! Sounds easy, right? We can use this sauce for many kinds of other foods like grilled pork, beef, noodles, and Tempura. This time I use this sauce for Chicken Wings without skewers. I hope you like this sauce.

  

Let's start making the sauce!

Combine soy sauce, sugar, and White wine in a sauce pan. Heat the mixture at medium low heat.  Simmer until the sauce starts to be sticky. Once the sauce cools it will be gooey.

Brush the chicken with the sauce.

Grill the chicken. The sauce is easy to get burned. So do not grill with high heat.  

Brush the chicken with the sauce a few times.

Looks yummy! Smells perfect. You can't wait to eat them, can you?!

I chose celery for side, but I also recommend Edamame.  Edamame and Yakitori is a good combination and pairs well. To make it even better, add your favorite Beer and then it's perfect!!
