On a positive note, it just means I must make this again so that I can perfect it and, of course, work on my patience :) You see, I didn't let this sauce boil long enough, so it never truly thickened up like it should have. Great thing though, is that it still had the delicious flavor it was supposed to have!! So although I was disappointed in my performance, I was NOT at all disappointed with this recipe. It's just yet another hit from my pal Andrea The Kitchen Witch. Thanks Andrea!!

Remove the garlic clove after 5 minutes of simmering. Continue too simmer until the sauced as reduced to a thick syrup. (and please be patient, it takes a while but is worth the wait!!) Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Remove 2-3 Tablespoons of the sauce add the chili paste. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour the remaining sauce mixture over it. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat grill to 375 degrees F. Remove chicken from bag and place directly over the fire. Grill for 5-10 minutes per side or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve with reserved sauce. Enjoy!

Nice work, as usual.
I've done that with the sauce, too. Impatience is maybe the sign of a great cook cause I have it, you have it...and well we rock :) The yakitori chicken looks amazing Jenn. I'm making it for dinner tonight, too :) Isn't the sambal in the marinade nice? We love it!! So excited that you made it too :)

Love yakitori! No double the grilled chicken would taste great.
It looks pretty dang good Jenn! I think you're being hard on yourself! I remember this one of Andrea's - it's on my must make list.
Very nice! I like the flavor profile of yakitori. It goes great with sweet jasmine rice.
Looks delicious, Jenn. Never heard of Mirin, but it looks like something I need to find. Love all the chicken recipes, cuz chicken is my very favorite.
This looks really really good.
Another "must try" Jenn!
