About
Yakitori Chicken is often served as popular street food in its native country, Japan. It's easy to see why: being on skewers, it's a fun and handy meal on the go. They're also amazingly easy and speedy to make at home on your own grill, so you can have all the savory, juicy indulgence of street-fare with all the craft and care of a home-cooked meal. The chicken and bright red peppers are both made better with the addition of a tangy soy barbecue sauce; the chicken is even slathered in it. Yakitori Chicken is a perfect addition to barbecue and cookout menus because no one can deny how good it is!
