Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken into even bite-size pieces and the scallions into 3 cm / 1-inch lengths. Thread them alternately onto skewers.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, reduce the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar for 4 to 5 minutes until glossy and lightly syrupy.

  3. 3

    Grill the skewers over high heat or under a broiler for 10 to 12 minutes, turning regularly.

  4. 4

    During the last few minutes, brush them repeatedly with the sauce to build a lacquered glaze without burning it.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
