what is the japanese term for grilled chicken skewers?
The Japanese term for grilled chicken skewers is “Yakitori.” Yakitori is a popular Japanese dish that consists of skewered chicken pieces grilled over charcoal. The word “yakitori” is derived from two Japanese words, “yaki” meaning grilled or roasted, and “tori” meaning chicken. The skewered chicken is typically seasoned with a soy-based glaze known as tare and is often enjoyed with a side of tare sauce or a sprinkle of salt. Yakitori can be found in various forms, including different cuts of chicken such as thigh, breast, and even organs like liver or heart. It is a staple street food in Japan and also commonly served in izakayas (Japanese pubs) as a delicious appetizer or main course.
