( it won't be real thick)

MEAT:

cut chicken into cubes

cut green onions into pieces that are the same length as the chicken cubes

on Japanese Bamboo Skewers*** put a cube of chicken, then a piece of onion, repeat along the skewer. leave room at the end for easy handling on the grill

place in a container and cover with the sauce and soak ( make sure the whole skewer is covered) 1 hour but better if overnight.

cook over a grill until meat is done. turning occasionally

these can also be cooked in the broiler

***make sure to throw away sauce that the meat marinated in..

the sauce that is left over that has not been used can be frozen

*** bamboo skewers can be purchased in most super markets in the oriental section

*** accent is not necessary

I LOVE Yakitori!! Never tried adding the beef soup bone to the sauce, but I bet it helps 'deepen' the flavour immensely! Great post, Peetabear :)
