Chicken Yakitori, a popular dish in Japanese cuisine, is a flavorful and smoky delight made by grilling skewered pieces of chicken over an open flame. The dish typically includes bite-sized cuts of chicken thigh, breast, or wings, seasoned with a savory-sweet tare sauce made of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Some variations may add green onions or mushrooms to the skewers for additional flavor and texture. Yakitori is a good source of lean protein due to its chicken base, and grilling keeps it relatively low in fat compared to fried alternatives. However, the tare sauce can be high in sodium and sugar, so portion control is key for a balanced diet. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or brown rice can enhance its nutritional value. Satisfying and versatile, Chicken Yakitori is a nutritious way to explore the rich flavors of Japanese street food.
