Misoyaki BBQ Chicken

Posted 2015-01-28 by Annalisa Brown ⇒ follow

Inspiration for these chicken skewers came from a recent visit to one of Sydney’s Yakitori Bars; Chaco Bar Restaurant .

In my version, the chicken is marinated with Japanese condiments for a couple of hours, skewered and cooked over a BBQ.

They’re simple, quick and healthy to make, meaning non-cooks can’t mess this up. I opted to forego soy sauce in the marinade as I didn’t want to overpower the taste of the barbecued chicken.

The end result was extremely tender chicken pieces that tasted sensational – slightly sweet but predominantly salty - these can be enjoyed hot or cold.

are a hybrid of miso flavoured, grilled chicken skewers.

These chicken skewers are far from being authentic yakitori hence the namesake Misoyaki … a hybrid of the miso used in the marinade and how they were cooked.

Preparation Time: 2 Hours (includes marinating time)
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 6-8 skewers

Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts
½ Cup Mirin
1 Cup Water
100g Shiro Miso Paste
4 Teaspoons Honey

Method

Soak bamboo skewers in water for approximately an hour.

Trim any excess fat off the chicken breast.

In a baking dish combine the miso paste, water, mirin and honey and mix to form a paste.

The marinade consists of miso paste, water, mirin and honey.

Add the chicken breast, making sure to coat the chicken. Place into the refrigerator and marinate for a couple of hours.

Marinate the chicken for a couple of hours.

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and cut into large cubes.

Thread the cubed chicken onto skewers and BBQ.

Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and thread onto bamboo skewers.

Baste the chicken skewers with the marinade and turn over to ensure all sides of the chicken skewers are fully cooked. Don't worry if some of the chicken become blackened - it's the marinade caramelising on the chicken AND it will add to the taste.

Cook the Chicken Skewers on a BBQ or Grill, turning and basting the chicken until cooked.

Serve immediately while hot. The chicken tastes even more delicious when cold and can easily be served as finger food at your next party or taken to your next picnic.

Simple, quick and healthy to make marinated BBQ chicken skewers or as I prefer to call them Misoyaki BBQ Chicken.
