DIRECTIONS
In a medium dish, mix together the sake, soy sauce, sugar, garlic and ginger. Add chicken, and allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease six metal skewers, and thread alternately with 3 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of leek. Place on a baking sheet or broiling pan, and brush with the marinade.
Broil for about 5 minutes, baste again, then broil for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Discard remaining marinade.
FOOTNOTE
The nutrition data for this recipe includes information for the full amount of the marinade ingredients. Depending on marinating time, ingredients, cooking method, etc., the actual amount of the marinade consumed will vary.

This is excellent! I made it just as the recipe said, but cooked it on a grill instead of under the broiler. Came out just great! Served with Peanut Noodles from this site and had a great meal. This definitely is a family favorite. Thanks Dakota!

My family really liked this recipie, despite the fact that I let the chicken marinate overnight, which made the soy sauce flavor too dominant. The next time, I'll follow the recipie or use less soy sauce. Overall, it was a quick and easy dinner. I served the chicken with brown rice and broccoli, and we had no leftovers.

I marinated this too long (overnight). It broke down the texture of the chicken into mush, so we didn't eat it. The flavor was good, so I will definately try it again but only marinate it the recommended 15 minutes!

Wonderful. I doubled the marinade and made 1.5 pounds of chicken with 1/2 pound of fresh shrimp. I did not skewer the meat and leeks, just threw it all on the pan together. I'll definitely make this again, maybe next time using all shrimp.

I made this last night and I follwed the recipe to a T. It was way too salty for my husband and I and I like my food salty. The only flavor that I noticed was the soy sauce. Not even the ginger or garlic. I think that this recipe would be better stir fried. I will try this recipe again.

Awesome! I added 2 chopped green onions to the marinade and let it sit for a couple of hours to combine before marinating the chicken. I set aside 1/2 cup of it for basting the chicken, put the rest on a stove in a small pan. Added a little water, boiled for a couple of mnutes,then thickened slightly with a little constarch. Spooned over the skewers when serving. A MOST excellent recipe. Will definitely make again! Thank you!!
