Yakitori (Grilled Chicken Kebabs)

• Sauce
• 7 tablespoons sake
• 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Kebab ingredients
• 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
• 5 5 thin leeks or 7 -8 green onions
• short bamboo skewer, soaked in water

1. To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside.
2. To prepare kebabs, cut thigh meat into bite-sized pieces. Cut thick parts of onions into 1-inch pieces, discarding the leaves. (See comments for additional suggestions for skewers.).
3. Thread pieces of chicken and onion alternately onto skewers, just 1-2 of each per skewer.
4. Dip each skewer into the sauce until well coated; place on a broiling pan.
5. Brush with additional sauce, and place under hot broiler, about 4-6 inches from heat.
6. Broil until the sauce begins to blacken around high points of skewers, about 4-5 minutes.
7. Brush again with sauce, flip and brush other side. Continue broiling for another 4-5 minutes or until just starting to char.
8. Repeat if necessary until chicken is cooked through.
9. Serve immediately. Discard any remaining sauce.
