  3. #### Ingredients:
  4. - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  5. - 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  6. - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  7. - 1 tablespoon sake (or dry sherry)
  8. - 1 teaspoon sugar
  9. - 4 to 6 skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
  10. #### Equipment:
  11. - Skewers
  12. - Large bowl
  13. - Cutting board
  14. - Sharp knife
  15. ### Step-by-Step Guide:
  16. #### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
  17. 1. **Clean and Cut the Chicken:** Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water, pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  18. 2. **Cut into Pieces:** Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  19. #### Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
  20. 1. **Mix the Marinade Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine mirin, soy sauce, sake (or dry sherry), and sugar.
  21. 2. **Add Chicken Pieces:** Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
  22. #### Step 3: Prepare the Skewers
  23. 1. **Soak Skewers:** While the chicken is marinating, soak your skewers in water to prevent them from burning during grilling.
  24. 2. **Thread Chicken Pieces:** Once the chicken has been marinated, thread pieces onto the prepared skewers.
  25. #### Step 4: Grilling the Chicken Yakitori
  26. 1. **Preheat the Grill:** Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  27. 2. **Grill the Chicken:** Place the skewered chicken on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the marinade caramelizes slightly, giving it that signature yakitori flavor.
  28. 3. **Serve Hot:** Once grilled, remove from heat and serve immediately while still hot.
  29. ### Tips for Perfect Chicken Yakitori:
  30. - **Use Fresh Ingredients:** Using fresh chicken ensures a more tender and flavorful dish.
  31. - **Marinate Properly:** Allowing the chicken to marinate longer enhances the taste significantly.
  32. - **Adjust Spices:** Feel free to adjust the marinade recipe according to your preference. Add extra garlic, ginger, or even honey for an alternative twist.
