Chicken Yakitori

Full of flavor, these succulent japanese-style skewers are fantastic for barbecues. Serve as canapé-style nibbles, or with noodles as a main meal. Time does not include marinating.

Steps

For the chicken: place the chicken , peppers and scallions in a shallow non corrosive dish , season and set aside.
For the marinade: mix all the ingredients together.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables , cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight or for at least a couple of hours.
In a separate shallow dish , cover 8 wooden skewers with water and leave to soak for as long as the chicken marinates.
When ready to cook , thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers and discard the marinade.
Mix together the teriyaki sauce and honey and brush a little over the skewers.
Light a barbecue or heat a griddle pan until smoking.
Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes , brushing every so often with the teriyaki sauce and turning regularly to ensure they brown evenly.
Serve as canap-style nibbles , or with noodles as a main meal.
