7. - 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
8. - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
9. - 1 tablespoon sake (or dry sherry)
10. - 1 teaspoon sugar

19. ### Step-by-Step Guide:
21. #### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
22. 1. **Clean and Cut the Chicken:** Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water, pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
23. 2. **Cut into Pieces:** Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
25. #### Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
26. 1. **Mix the Marinade Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine mirin, soy sauce, sake (or dry sherry), and sugar.
27. 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.
29. #### Step 3: Prepare the Skewers
30. 1. **Soak Skewers:** While the chicken is marinating, soak your skewers in water to prevent them from burning during grilling.
31. 2. **Thread Chicken Pieces:** Once the chicken has been marinated, thread pieces onto the prepared skewers.
33. #### Step 4: Grilling the Chicken Yakitori
34. 1. **Preheat the Grill:** Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
35. 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.
36. 3. **Serve Hot:** Once grilled, remove from heat and serve immediately while still hot.
38. ### Tips for Perfect Chicken Yakitori:
39. - **Use Fresh Ingredients:** Using fresh chicken ensures a more tender and flavorful dish.
