Notes

  • Nutritional value is per one skewer. 
  • Any part of chicken can be used. 
  • *1 If you don't have a bbq grill, you can cook in sameway with a frying pan. If you use frying pan, you need to absorb any excess oil comes out of thigh meat with a kitchen paper. 
  • *2 I used teriyaki sauce. You can adjust amount of sugar if you prefer more savory flavour.
