Chicken hearts yakitori

This is the classic Japanese beer junk-food, yakitori of chicken’s innards - hearts, gizzards, necks and whatever. Here I’m using chicken’s hearts from Oriental City. The hearts are rubbed in salt, washed and splayed.

Many chickens died to make this meal …

I cover them in the “mystery sauce” which N-sama made (it’s got at least mirin, lots of sugar and some soya sauce, but I’m not sure what else):

While grilling you need to keep dipping them in the mystery sauce. They cook in about 20 minutes.

Recipe for yakitori, and for the dipping sauce (日本語).

    It was really delicious. But I think we have to thank N-sama for making the mystery dipping sauce. It had just the right consistency.
