Osakan Miso Yakitori Skewers

Experience the flavors of Japan with these delectable Osakan Miso Yakitori Skewers. Originating from the vibrant streets of Osaka, these skewers are a testament to Japanese culinary artistry. The dish combines tender poultry with a savory, deeply flavored miso glaze. Traditionally enjoyed in izakayas, these skewers are perfect for grilling gatherings or cozy dinners at home. In this recipe, we delve into the ingredients and step-by-step preparation of this iconic dish.

Ingredients

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Add minced ginger and garlic to the marinade.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green onion. Ensure the pieces are snug but not too tightly packed.

Step 4: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become ashy before grilling.

Cooking Process

Step 5: Grill the Yakitori

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure they cook evenly. Use a cooking timer to keep track. Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade during the last few minutes of cooking to enhance the flavor and achieve a glossy finish. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 75°C (165°F).

Enjoying Your Yakitori

Serve the Osakan Miso Yakitori Skewers hot, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame oil for added depth. Pair with a side of steamed rice or fresh vegetables. Enjoy these skewers alongside an icy cold beer or a chilled glass of sake to complement the umami flavors. Perfect as an appetizer or main course, these skewers will transport you to the bustling streets of Osaka with every bite.
