Measure out 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of mirin, which is a sweet rice wine.

味醂（或甜米酒）2湯匙（30毫升）

Instructions

做法

First, take the skin off the chicken thighs, then cut the meat into pieces that are easy to eat. As an optional step, if you prefer, you can parboil the chicken skin in boiling water along with 1 tablespoon of sake; this can make it more tender.

雞腿去皮切件。（如喜歡，可將雞皮放入加了1湯匙清酒的滾水中汆燙，更容易食用。）

Slice the green onion into pieces about 1 1/4 inches (3 cm) long. In a separate bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and stir them well.

大蔥切成約3厘米長的小段。將醬汁材料混合在碗中。

Warm a small amount of oil in a skillet. Add the green onion pieces and sear them until they turn nicely browned, then take them out of the pan.

鑊中下少量油，將大蔥段煎至金黃後取出。

Now, place the chicken skin into the skillet and cook it over medium heat until it becomes crispy and browned. Once done, remove it. Carefully pour out and discard any extra oil from the skillet.

放入雞皮，以中火煎至香脆金黃後取出。將鑊中多餘的油倒走。

Add a little more oil to the skillet. Sear the chicken pieces over medium heat until they are browned. After browning, cover the skillet and let them steam for 3 minutes.

鑊中再下少量油，以中火將雞肉煎至金黃，然後蓋上鑊蓋蒸3分鐘。

Return the green onion and chicken skin to the skillet, along with the made sauce. Stir everything together to ensure all ingredients are coated, then simmer until the sauce thickens. At this point, it's done!

將醬汁、大蔥和雞皮放入鑊中，拌勻讓所有食材裹上醬汁，煮至醬汁濃稠即成！

Serve your yakitori on a plate. For an extra kick, you might want to add a small dab of spicy mustard or a sprinkle of chili powder.

上碟。如喜歡，可加一點辣芥末醬或辣椒粉。
