– Combine the mirin and sake into a pot and let it come to a soft boil. Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes. Then add the soy sauce, sugar and piece of ginger. Let it come to a soft boil again and once the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

– In the meantime, add the chicken pieces into a skewer alternating between the chicken and 1-2 pieces of green onion. Lightly season both sides with salt.

– Add some oil into a skillet and sear the chicken skewers in batches for about 4 minutes on each side. Brush each side liberally with the sauce and remove from skillet. Finish cooking the remainder of the chicken skewers and place them on a parchment lined cooking sheet. Brush again with the sauce and place in the over to broil for about 3-5 minutes. Make sure you watch carefully as they can burn easily. Remove from the oven and brush again with the sauce. Serve with rice and extra sauce on the side.
