This was really good! Juicy chicken, very flavorful - even the onions were tasty. I broiled them because it was too cold out and they turned out great - will def make again.

Instead of discarding the marinade, pour it into a little pot and cook to reduce until slightly syrupy, then serve a little over rice. Note: If it is too salty for your liking, add a little more sugar to balance the flavor.

Didn't care for the combination of chicken, marinade, and leeks. The leeks didn't cook up well and they couldn't decide if they were going to be "onion"-ney or if they were going to try to mimic the flavor from the chicken.

Great recipe. Instead of putting in the oven, I put my skewers on the grill. I used bamboo skewers soaked in water since I don't have metal ones.

I have made this several times and my boyfriend and I love it! It's easy and delicious. I took the advice from another review, and cooked the chicken ON the broiler pan, which I covered in foil ( instead of using scewers ). Easy clean up. The last two times I made it, I used the perdue pre-cooked grilled chicken pieces ( which he loves ). That ended up being his favorite version! It works for me because it's alittle faster in the oven( 5-10 minutes max) and less messy.

I made this recipe last night, but only had 1/4 cup of soy sauce, so the ginger was pretty over powering. I used the marinade as a dipping sauce to enhance the flavor of the Chicken. It didn't taste much like the Yakitori you get in Japan, but was a nice change. I may try again with the correct amount of soy sauce, just to use up the Sake.

A great base recipe. I have made this a few times, and changed it each time..but the base as written is very close to the Japanese place that we enjoy. Highly recommended.

This was so good that my husband was asking me to make it again before we were even finished eating it. I didn't have fresh ginger, so I used ground ginger, and it turned out very well.
