How to make it

  1. Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into pieces approximately 3x3 cm in size. Cut the white part of the naga negi into 3 cm segments.
  2. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain excess liquid. Thread the chicken and scallion pieces alternately onto bamboo skewers.
  4. Preheat an open-flame grill. Brush the grill grate with oil. Arrange the skewers on the grate. Brush with Lee Kum Kee Unagi Sauce and grill slowly until fragrant. Flip and brush again. Repeat brushing both sides 2–3 times. Grill until golden brown, slightly charred, and cooked through.
  5. Serve with shichimi pepper, if desired.
  6. Tips: If you don’t have an open-flame grill, you may use the oven’s broil setting instead.
