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.

[@halidokur3891]

0:49 the way he made it dance 😂😂😂

[@royaltyblessed2454]

Looks like my ex wife

[@jmb1666]

Poor chicken :(

[@lisleabrahams8730]

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

[@bbabu1632]

Chef Kono always slays!

[@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.

[@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* ...

[@jstewlly4747]

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

[@kiwicowboybbq]

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

[@artistroominc.6907]

Most expert chicken disassembly I've ever seen

[@sirbean5985]

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

[@paoloalfante3801]

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

[@thirdp]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@cloudnein3483]

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

[@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 ??

[@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.

[@Gatecrasher1]

He elevates yakitori to an artform

[@protopigeon]

Always love watching this master and all round good 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.

[@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

[@dwanbol]

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

[@Christopher-uf6dz]

You just witnessed a master class in prepping chicken.

[@VJ.Anointed.]

Wow. Fascinating and looks delicious. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AqvaSerpentis]

Those knife skills are crazy

[@deathdoor]

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

[@klcheong]

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

[@johndugan5578]

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

[@Yungbeck]

Fix your playlists Munchies

[@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

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

[@Mattattheminimart]

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

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

[@louistangmusic]

insane knifeskills

[@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🎉

[@zvonimirleko2131]

Thank you

[@Kildat1]

What type of eggs are those and how are they like that?

[@shyninja]

Lol makes the chicken dance. Fresh indeed.

[@gilagarden]

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

[@day6stan]

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

[@barrilitomusic]

Place is delicious!!!

[@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

[@techsavvyhero]

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

[@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

[@江原真二-o1q]

I want to go to NewYork and eat it‼️

[@pareshprajapati7916]

Superb excellent 👌 Thank you 👍 🇮🇳🙏😊

[@klontjespap]

he'd have disassembled that chicken in like 20 seconds if it weren't for him speaking for the camera, damn he has some pro knife skills and knows the chicken well :D

[@duckdawgnh]

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

[@Chrisfeb68]

Much respect.

[@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!!

[@acharles331]

What brand knife is that? Deba or honesuki?

[@miguelcarneiro1192]

Cool stuff

[@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.

He kinda looks like Derick Rose

[@itzmaggie]

Chef kono is finnnnnne 🥰

[@patiphonphonkun510]

Yakitori with beer is another level of combination

[@odessy0000]

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

[@gitdumkid]

this is inspiring

[@ayobamimac]

Not sure why I never thought chickens had knees.

[@garyyu112233]

What kinda of chicken do you use ?

[@49wakaran]

pennsylvanian free range

[@beyourself2444]

Chicken feet… yummm!!!

[@Frodogaming12]

His english are way better now, compared to years ago.

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

[@christianperez7846]

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

[@howie8460]

Never know DeRose work as yakitori chef as part time

[@calicoasting]

He seems to be cool dude

[@vinht23]

Chicken neck is the best when grilled.

[@mikz386]

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

[@victorechavarria3703]

Esto es muy rico

[@dlk3904]

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

[@bcgmktg]

What was the meat before the chicken testicles?

[@49wakaran]

chicken kidney

[@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.
