Yakitori chicken skewers are a popular Japanese dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken threaded onto skewers and grilled over charcoal. This savory delicacy often includes lean cuts like chicken breast or thigh, and is traditionally seasoned with a sweet and salty tare sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar, or simply sprinkled with salt before cooking. Originating as Japanese street food, yakitori showcases the art of minimal yet flavorful preparation. Nutritionally, it offers a high-protein option and can be a relatively low-fat choice depending on the chicken cuts selected. Grilling enhances flavor while avoiding added oils, though the sodium in soy-based sauces may be a consideration for those watching salt intake. Typically paired with fresh vegetables or served over rice, yakitori chicken skewers are a balanced and delicious way to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine.
