Preparation

Start by making the yakitori sauce.

In a deep pan place the soy sauce, the mirin and the sugar. Bring these ingredients to medium heat for approximately 10 minutes.

When the previous preparation is boiling, lower the heat and let it thicken.

Add the toichashi shichimi and cook for another 5 minutes to improve the flavor.

Remove the yakitori sauce from the heat and let it cool.

Start by cutting the chicken into equal cubes and season them with salt, pepper and yakitori sauce. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. It can even be left overnight to taste better.

Prepare the vegetables: cut the onion and leek into 4 parts and separate the layers, cut the peppers into pieces and cut the tomatoes in halves.


After the chicken gets the taste, assemble the chicken skewer with vegetables: on each skewer place a piece of chicken, followed by a piece of vegetables (onion, leek, pepper or tomato), and repeat until the whole skewer is complete.

Grill the chicken skewers with vegetables on a greased grill or grill directly on the barbecue for 15 to 20 minutes, while brushing the rest of the sauce from the bowl onto the skewers.

Once ready, serve and good appetite!
