  • Marinate the chicken with the garlic, ginger, soya sauce, black pepper powder, brown sugar and vinegar. Thread the chicken onto earlier soaked skewers. Do not discard the marinade
  • Preheat a grill pan. Brush with some oil, once the pan is nice and hot, place the chicken yakitori on it, and cook by turning their sides, ensuring the chicken is well cooked. Mix the corn flour with water in a bowl to make slurry. Heat oil; add the garlic and sauté till it turns light brown.
