Instructions
-
Place the hard caramels and water in a saucepan. Over medium-low heat, let the hard caramels melt slowly. When almost completely melted, add the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring gently to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. Divide into two portions. Set aside one half as a side sauce.
-
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Add half of the sauce. Mix well.
-
Using skewers, assemble the yakitori skewers by threading the chicken strips in a wave-like pattern (or in a zigzag). Add 2 pieces of green onion horizontally. Set aside on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
-
Cook the skewers in a ridged pan (an air fryer or on a BBQ) for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (or until cooked through, brushing with half of the reserved sauce during the last minute of cooking). Remove from heat.
-
Serve the yakitori skewers with the remaining caramel sauce.
