Yakitori
You may know that skewered chicken with bell pepper, onions, etc, those are called kebabs. The Japanese version that is just chicken, marinated slightly, is yakitori.
Everything tastes better on a stick, just remember to soak the skewers. This is a key step so the wood doesn’t burn on the grill!
Chicken on a stick, plain and simple, you won’t find an easier weeknight dinner!
