Steps
This is an easy way to make delicious chicken chicken skewers at home in your broiler. While this is not how yakitori is traditionally made, it is much easier and a crowd pleaser. Our spice blend Kissed by Binchotan was inspired by eating yakitori in Japan where they cook skewers of chicken over binchotan charcoal which is a very special type of charcoal made from white oak. The skewers are kissed by the blazing heat from the binchotan, while the juices drip down and touch the coals engulfing the skewers in intoxicating smokey deliciousness. If you would like to use real binchotan charcoal, check out our friends at https://www.fourstarseafood.com/product-page/binchotan-charcoal-korea-5. If not a broiler will do just fine.
