Master the Art of Yakitori with Chef Kono

[@asdfghjsdfgg1841]

His knife skills are so insane, the way he carved that whole chicken in single strokes, it was so smooth you could barely tell there were joints

[@psychojackel69]

He does. And also a really good and sharp knife helps immensely

[@dozer11]

Yes! It’s amazing to see knife skills in motion. A chef friend of mine said the best sushi chefs are precise and consistent with their cuts and don’t waste the fish. Seems like it’s the same with yakitori chefs too.

[@SeanQuinn4]

The way he broke down the shoulder + breast with the bolster of the knife 🤌 I wish they would release an extended/uncut version of just him butchering the chicken, hell I'd even pay for it. Western chicken butchery feels like kindergarten compared to this man's poultry PhD.

[@666iceonfire]

i could tell

[@zachneptune1838]

It is great to see him work similarly with chicken as a sushi chef would with their protein. Single strokes in one direction is to preserve the integrity of the meat, also hence Japanese knives being single bevel 🙂

[@Theoryofcatsndogs]

I have searched and watched yakitori videos for a long time. This is the third time I watch videos by chef Kono. This is by far the best and most detailed video about how to make yakitori. Great job Munchies

[@Veitorean]

Definitely look at Yakitoriguy if you want super indepth guides too. Each are like 30 minutes - 1 hour guides on each skewering each part!

[@liammalarky3483]

This chef's level of skill is off the chart. I'm a chef, and I've never seen anything like it. Amazing.

[@saber2008]

you're clearly a very bad chef then

[@liammalarky3483]

@saber2008 LOL. I'm honest enough to admit to myself that I've seen someone with superior skills to my own.

[@bbabu1632]

Chef Kono always slays!

[@halidokur3891]

0:49 the way he made it dance 😂😂😂

[@royaltyblessed2454]

Looks like my ex wife

[@jmb1666]

Poor chicken :(

[@mrdude88]

I love yakitori! In Japan, my buddy and I will go to a yakitori restaurant/bar buffet and we’ll drink and have a lot of skewered dish of all flavor. We’ll order our food, drink while we wait, eat, talk, and repeat. The best part is the end bill is less than $50 for all of us.

[@lisleabrahams8730]

unbelievable skill level here - with hardly any waste at all....I'm in awe

[@mspirits9911]

Though it's done by a different channel, I'm so excited for Chef Kono to finally give the full tutorial on how to prep the chicken. Thank you for whoever made the video.

[@hello.itsme.5635]

Where can I find this?

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... to finally give* ...

[@kiwicowboybbq]

Wow! Incredible skills. Creating beautiful food out of the whole chicken. Huge respect Chef!

[@jstewlly4747]

The pull knife skills are SICK AS HELL that's practice and perfection over time wow damn

[@artistroominc.6907]

Most expert chicken disassembly I've ever seen

[@sirbean5985]

I can never get over Japanese craftsmanship..all this from a chicken😂😂 amazing

[@thirdp]

The skew techniques that make presentation for each part are the real thing!😮

[@paoloalfante3801]

This is how I'm going to cut my Costco rotisserie chicken. I love this guy.

[@brianmoody2549]

Knowing how to prepare your food and cutting your chicken or meat to the size you need, and adding the right ingredients seasoning, and the right spices and cooking time you’ll have a delicious meal for yourself and everyone else.

[@SiKay3000]

I’ve been attempting to make yakitori at home for years. Unless you try doing what he’s doing it hard to appreciate how unbelievably difficult it is to do. Skills are off the scale

[@mikmil2020]

I cut up a whole chicken once, it took me nearly 2 hours😂. These guys do it perfectly in minutes 👌🏼

[@who.is.dayton-ch9fb]

Roommates left for the weekend. I did this and wow some of the best chicken I’ve ever made

[@jihad4realniz]

What you mean ? You did ALL the same like the Guy in the Video and you made some Yakitori ??

[@cloudnein3483]

This guy has some of the best knife skills I've ever seen fr

[@ubi-wankelubi]

Me watching at 3 am, knowing that I have to work tomorrow : Sleep can wait..

[@kikkirow]

The way he broke that chicken down made it seem easy.

[@protopigeon]

Always love watching this master and all round good guy

[@Gatecrasher1]

He elevates yakitori to an artform

[@WH00ZAH]

He literally shows us all his way to cut chicken, his charcoals, and the contents of his sauce. No secrets. The real question is: can YOU replicate his cutting technique? his skewering technique? setting the right amount of fire temperature by controlling fire with a fan? That's mad skills that comes from training and experience. Really great yakitori chef!

[@Christopher-uf6dz]

You just witnessed a master class in prepping chicken.

[@deathdoor]

7:18 that scared me! The part he cut is the best part of the heart.

[@AqvaSerpentis]

Those knife skills are crazy

[@zvonimirleko2131]

Thank you

[@VJ.Anointed.]

Wow. Fascinating and looks delicious. ❤️❤️❤️

[@accordiongordon]

Why?

[@Yungbeck]

@@accordiongordon No structure. Each episode of this show is s01e01 etc etc I'd do it for them but they never respond

[@encoremovement]

this is why eater is a far better channel. the music in this was so whack too

[@jedd.0322]

Truuuu

[@fialee8]

Yeah, this is not your regular restaurant you stop in for a bite to eat. Looked online, and there's no menu, but did find an article from 2022: "At Kono the only meal available is an omakase dinner, for $165."

[@marianopesa298]

That's pretty steep but id like to try it

[@Mattattheminimart]

That is the raw deal I used to get a fade like that when I first went down to Southern Illinois

[@klcheong]

I did not know you can skewer an egg yoke :-) Respect to the chef..

[@louistangmusic]

insane knifeskills

[@mirokenle1074]

love this chef and the way he cooks and philosophy of chicken!

[@techsavvyhero]

Wow! I never knew Yakitori had so many different parts of the chicken.

[@dwanbol]

Respect to you chef. Excellent cutting skills and i learned some knowledge from this vid. Thank u

[@SA-ht5fw]

I think he was a chef at Tori Shin in the early 2000. Great video

[@johndugan5578]

if someone told me his a doctor before i will believe you because that precise knife skills is off the charts 🔥🔥🔥

[@shyninja]

Lol makes the chicken dance. Fresh indeed.

[@duckdawgnh]

That was incredible. Now I need a smoke and a nap.

[@felixviklund3814]

THIS guy is a real chef

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

You're not saying! Would never have assumed that someone who professionally prepares food could be a real chef😜.

[@killercaos123]

Chicken is the universal food. All cultures love chicken

[@gilagarden]

Here in Malaysia we have "Satay"~~~ YUM!!!

[@cameronstone4331]

Yum what a great chef.

[@kpyangz916]

This guy can grill perfect chicken with no thermometer

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

So can I, thin skewers like that are easy, even a thermometer is mostly a waste of time for a half decent cook on almost any cut of meat. But he’s got lots of other cooking skills too🎉

[@江原真二-o1q]

I want to go to NewYork and eat it‼️

[@day6stan]

Knife skills are amazing, but how the hell did he skewer and grill the yolk?

[@johnpaullaxa5486]

He kinda looks like Derick Rose

[@muhsinmalek3953]

Hello sir, i wanted a yakitori chicken skewer. But in my place the only thing available is teriyaki sauce, however the sauce is really thicken. I saw yakitori sauce tend to be less thicken compared to yakitori sauce, should i add a litte bit water to make it less thicken or just use the way it is

[@jahithber1430]

There are a lot of Yakitori chef in the Philippines on street

[@kenta_0163]

Master Chef Kono is the King of Chicken 🐓!

[@ayobamimac]

Not sure why I never thought chickens had knees.

[@victorechavarria3703]

Esto es muy rico

[@limyohan87]

I thoroughly enjoyed Asian Derrick Rose breakdown yakitori

[@georgewashington4914]

What was that brown leathery part of the chicken?? He called it skeezer,at least that's what i got from youtube subtitles PLS someone tell me!!

[@putumban7738]

pennsylvanian free range

[@MarcosFlores-z1y]

❤

[@judegonzales9829]

Nice one Derrick Rose haha

[@noproblematallmate]

Blend it all up and grill me some nuggets

[@odessy0000]

How is he using the sauce over and over again without getting any bacterial or fungal growth from using raw chicken?

[@mikz386]

He made it looks so easy but irl its very damn hard to pierce meat with a bbq stick

[@vinht23]

Chicken neck is the best when grilled.

[@briant1319]

Does anyone else have a problem with the "holding" end of the the skewer being contaminated with raw chicken juice during prep? Doubt that handle gets hot enough during cooking to be sterilized

[@Flair978]

You sound like a typical paranoid westerner.

[@ghsense2626]

​@@Flair978you sound like a delusional easterner

[@jagman7023]

@2:21 can someone please tell me what that part is, the little piece of skin. Subtitle says "total cover"

[@49wakaran]

とろかわ、or torokawa meaning fatty skin

[@dlk3904]

you have to sweep the floor for 50 years before you can even touch a skewer

[@davidesposo]

What kind of japanese knife is he using?

[@49wakaran]

Masamoto honetsuki

[@mikadotakimura]

That is the most broken down chicken i have ever seen someone do

[@mikadotakimura]

@𝙏̲𝙚̲𝙭̲𝙩̲𝙈̲e 𝟭̲𝟮̲𝟯̲𝟭̲𝟲̲𝟴̲𝟬̲𝟬̲𝟯̲𝟰̲𝟱̲does it come with fries?

[@isakengkilde5382]

How the hell does that yoke not break?

[@juantwotree5710]

That's an "egg" that hasn't been laid. It's still inside the hen before it even developed a shell yet.

[@christianperez7846]

There’s videos of people teaching you how to take apart a chicken, and they’re not even close to this guy.

[@chinorodriguez3001]

Wait that's not Pharrell?

[@Deadpoolmasterchief]

I like how he’s so precise he’s not at all obSKEWER 😂

[@sharonhill2602]

I bet he’s gutted they can’t eat the bones, but I’m sure they make a lovely broth.
