How To Make Tebasaki yakitori
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
In a saucepan or bowl, combine the chicken wings, sake, and oil. Chill for about 2 hours.
After the chilling time, drain excess liquid.
In a medium-sized saucepan or bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of salt and a pinch of pepper. Reserve half of this mixture for serving, and rub the remaining half onto the chicken wings.
Thread the chicken wings onto the bamboo skewers. Set aside once threaded.
Preheat a mini-grill or charcoal grill over medium heat.
Place the chicken wings yakitori skewers on the grill to cook. Cooking each side thoroughly may take about 5 minutes per side. Flip the skewers every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking until the wings are golden in color and fully cooked.
Once all the chicken wings yakitori skewers are cooked through, remove them from the grill.
Transfer the skewers to a serving plate and sprinkle with the reserved salt and pepper mixture.
For garnish, squeeze some lemon juice over the Chicken Wings Yakitori Skewers and add lettuce leaves before serving.
This dish is best enjoyed immediately after grilling while it is still hot.
