How to make Yakitori from Scratch using Oven 焼き鳥 Super Easy Japanese Satay Recipe

Yakitori or 焼き鳥 in Japanese language, is a type of skewered chicken in Japanese cuisine. Preparation of yakitori involves skewering the meat with sticks made of steel or bamboo. Once done, they are grilled over charcoal fire but for home cooking, you can consider grilling them in an oven or airfryer. The effect? Not as fragrant compared to charcoal grilled yakitori but definitely still super yummy because of the sauce over the chicken. Yum!
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
We would like to give special thanks to Greenpan for letting us try out their high quality non-stick pan in the video respectively. If you like to buy them, you can go to any of the major departmental stores in Singapore such as Isetan, Robinsons, Takashimaya, BHG, OG, Metro or Tangs.

Hi Spice & Pans, thank you for sharing the recipes. Always enjoyed to learn some cooking tips & so far, they turn out great! Just one thing, I don’t seems to get the shiny texture for this particular recipe, i tried twice with the ingredients followed accordingly, but failed twice. Any advice here?

[@spicenpans]

Thank you so much for trying our recipes. Before serving these skewers, brush some of the sauce over them again then they’ll be shiny. Happy cooking!

[@svetlanagilyandikova8307]

Chef, might I humbly recommend a short time under the boiler for some additional char? Thank you for the recipe!

[@brendagreen1683]

Yum, yum,😋👍👌

[@spicenpans]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@hjon9119]

you can also use frying pan, just add the sauce at a later stage so they don't burn. using the oven for barbecuing results in taste and texture that are quite different

[@gohkimyeng9544]

[@wt11031971]

Hi thanks for the video. For chicken thigh i always wonder if to remove the white veins (i do it ), noticed that u didnt remove. Is there any diff? If i replace the scallion with asparagus will the baking temp be the same? Thanks

[@spicenpans]

Hi Wendy. You don’t have to remove the white veins but if you see one that’s really thick, feel free to remove it. Yes you can use the same temperature if you replace the scallions with asparagus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

May I know which oven mode to use ?

[@elmasanchez5329]

can I use this sauce for pork?

[@RGYF1]

Do you use the top fan, bottom fan or both for the baking?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Ryan, we used top and bottom fan. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

[@stephsteph2748]

May i know what brand of sake and mirin that you used? Can i use normal cane sugar instead of brown sugar? Thank you

[@spicenpans]

Hi Steph. Yes you can use normal cane sugar to replace brown sugar. You can just go for the cheapest sake you can find since it’s used for cooking. As for mirin, I got it from Daiso. Hope this helps.

[@lynfallan5170]

Hello sir how' about if I don't have saki?

[@shaimaaibrahim8886]

Chef please i can't use alcohol .. what i do ??😞

[@MsWaterDuck]

What's the temp and for how long would you recommend if i am using a air fryer?

[@spicenpans]

Hihi. You can use the same temperature used in this video but please check on it every now and then to ensure the chicken skewers are not burnt. You might need to shorten your skewers too since space is usually a constraint when it comes to airfryer. Happy cooking! 🤓🤓

[@MsWaterDuck]

[@farhorizons3901]

Great recipe as usual! A couple of questions: 1. What was the reason you used bake rather than grill or fan grill; is it to avoid burning the chicken? 2. Would this recipe work with pork belly (skin removed), and would the pork require a longer cooking time? Thanks.

[@spicenpans]

Hi FarHorizons, so sorry for our late reply. Yes, the cooking for pork and chicken is about the same. We didn't use a grill or fan grill because we don't have one. Haha. We figured most family should have an oven so we chose to use the oven instead. Yes you can use pork belly. They should be really yummy too. Happy cooking!

[@farhorizons3901]

Hi, thanks for your reply. What I meant was that many ovens have a built-in grill and fan grill function so I assumed yours would also.

以后可以做成中文字幕吗？

[@gracebock2900]

Roland, wondered why there's no need to season meat before grilling.Won't taste of meat b less tasty.N is there a need to oil meat before first grilling😁

[@spicenpans]

Hi Grace. Yakitori traditionally is about tasting the original freshness of the meat thus no overly marinade is needed. And also the meat pieces are small enough and during basting, the flavour of the sauce will “stick” on the meat. I dun like to “oil” the meat for this dish as oil will “ burnt” the yakitori sauce too fast as the sauce contains sugar. Hope this explains 🤓🤓

[@jurizcristi-anpradas6381]

What if I don't have sake

[@rubinanaveed7735]

Could you please make this sauce without alcohol

[@spicenpans]

Hihi. Yes you can alternatively you can cook the sauce until all the alcohol evaporates.

[@trisnawungubelen5247]

Can I use alumunium foil?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Trisna. Yes sure although many said it’s not safe to cook food with aluminium foil.

[@wongmingyee4467]

Can i keep the sauce to be use next time?

[@callistating]

Can sake be replaced w cooking wine?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Callista. If you have rice wine, you can use that instead. Even vodka is good too.

[@RedPrataYT]

What's the reason for the chicken to be tough? I removed the skin

[@mimoochodom2684]

Can one leave out the sugar?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Mimoocho. Yes you can since mirin is slightly sweet. The purpose of sugar is to help balance out the saltiness of this sauce. Hope this helps.

[@MDMASMR]

Wow! I want to try it! But i have to omit the sake. Have to make it halal. Hehe. I already found the halal mirin.

[@spicenpans]

Wow halal mirin. Nice. Happy cooking!!
