Hawaiian Yakitori Chicken
Serves: Two - Three people | Cooks in: 30 minutes
Yakitori is Japanese skewered meat (usually chicken or pork) grilled over fire, giving the seared quality associated with cooking this dish.
Ingredients
- Skewers
- Oil, for greasing
- 2 large chicken breasts, approx 400g
- A few glugs of teriyaki sauce
- 1 red pepper
- 1 green pepper
- ½ fresh pineapple
-
Sesame seeds
Method
- Get your fire (or grill) to medium hot temperature.
- Slice the chicken into very think strips across the grain (widthways).
- Place the chicken in a bowl and add a few good slugs of teriyaki until the chicken is well coated. Set aside in the fridge while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
- Deseed the peppers, then cut into 2cm squares.
- Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into 2cm cubes.
- Take your skewers and thread on a piece of chicken in a concertina fashion so it gathers up like a ribbon.
- Next, add a piece of pepper, followed by another piece of chicken, then a pineapple cube. Continue this pattern up the length of the skewer.
- Lightly wipe over each full skewer with oil.
- Put under the grill or over the barbecue for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds to each skewer once cooked.
- Enjoy!
