Yakitori in a Frying Pan (How to Prepare Tender Chicken)
- 1 piece Chicken thigh
- 1 Japanese leek
- 8 Shishito peppers (or green peppers)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 Ginger (grated)
- 2 tsp Oil
- 3 tbsp Yakitori sauce
- 1 Shichimi spice
- Trim off the excess fat and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Rub the sake into the chicken.
- Add some ginger to give a good flavour, if you want.
- We will be sauteing the Japanese leeks and the shishito peppers using the same frying pan as the chicken (I used 2 thin green peppers in this photo).
- Cut the Japanese leek into 4-cm lengths.
- Cut the green peppers lengthways into 4-6 pieces.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and put in the chicken pieces with the skin sides down.
- Cover with a lid and continue to cook.
- Once the skins are golden brown, turn over.
- Saute the other sides without covering with a lid.
- Remove the excess fat in the frying pan with paper towel.
- Take out the chicken and saute the green peppers and Japanese leek.
- Remove them once they are cooked.
- Pour over plenty of yakitori sauce.
- If you cook them with the sauce, the sauce may burn.
- Sprinkle with shichimi spice to your liking.
- When you have time, make this yakitori sauce in batches.
- The flavour deepens with age and keeps well.
