GRILL
8/10
Skewered chicken pieces grilled over charcoal and basted with tare sauce or simply salted.
Why It Works
Charcoal grilling at extremely high heat renders skin to a crisp while keeping the meat juicy; tare builds up in glossy layers with each basting pass.
Key Ingredients
chicken thigh
chicken skin
scallions
tare sauce (soy
mirin
sake
sugar)
shichimi togarashi
