Honestly, these videos have been so helpful and I'm absolutely loving catching up on them! Can't wait to finish the series and make my own at home. Big love from Australia!
Great to hear that its helpful! I'm still new into filming/editing but do put alot of thought and love into each videos! Hopefully you can spread the Kodawari Yakitori to your friends and family!
It's so wonderful you've made such in depth yakitori education! =D It has been very hard finding quality, detailed information on yakitori in English and I'm so glad I've finally found your channel! The combo skewers are such a great idea!
First timer to your channel looks like a wonderful new cooking method to learn for outdoor gatherings think I'm going to go with the electric yakitori grill since I'll be starting from scratch and you will be my teacher thanks so much for these videos aloha from Hawaii
I've broken down probably more than a hundred chickens in my life, but I was wondering about the various muscles and I'm glad I came upon this series. Definitely looking forward to breaking down more in this method!
Hi! I would like to congratulate for your job and your tutorials. I've been leanring a lot, really didactic. I'm not a profesional but, I enjoy cooking and sharing with friends. Thanks to your videos I junmped into a new level. Preparing my own "Tare" and "Yakitori" everybody had fun. Many thanks! Keep going! Regards from Barcelona.
Thank you for the videos! I've always love the tail, but I usually only ate it fried usually in a set of thighs This morning I absentmindedly asked for a quarter kilo of it to the butcher, but idk what to do lmao, I immediately thought of making chicken oil but when I'm browsing for wings recipes, your videos got recommended to me and I found this video! This is the first time I deboned the tail, usually I ate it whole, its pretty time consuming but so worth it eating it without the bones being in the way! In the past I built a hibachi style portable hearth for fun and has been making "yakitoris"(albeit with no rules whatsoever) so I usually snacks on those while working or watching in the living room 😂 But now your channel has opened my eyes and I can't thank you enough for these free and detailed educational videos! I can say now I'm kind of a follower of the yakitori gang! Keep the good work up and hope you have a good day! ✨
Hi just a suggestion after this kind of tutorial we can also add in the a small portion in the video the cooking or grilling process so we can see the process and the expected outcome
This skin skewer and all the others from each of these break down/skewering sessions are grilled up in this video: th-cam.com/video/Cb78gv3A6a8/w-d-xo.html BTW these were some of my first videos ever, learning how to film/edit for the first time. You will see in my later videos I've added the grilling process to each skewer item and made them more concise. Hope you like the updates!
This skin technique looks much easier than what i tried. I attempted to roll the skin and i broke a sweat just trying to get it on a skewer. I need to try the freezer tip. One yakitori chef told me they roll and put in the freezer for a minute or two.
I tried making yakitori this past weekend on my YAK grill. A big problem I encountered was my skewers being off balance. I used the paddle skewers but my skewers would flip back on their own when I try to flip it to its other side. Is there a a way to visually know how to balance to the skewer to prevent the flips? Particularly an issue when using yakitori grilling rods.
Definitely gets better with more practice with skewering to get a feel and eye for centering the meat pieces on the skewer. Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/5rRXiaS8qiw/w-d-xo.html You can also play around with bringing the rods closer to pinch your skewers in place on the grill or use other skewers to hold eachother in place.
Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, you can use the bones for making Tare as I show in my Tare video. As regards to making the soup, I simply just do bone, water, some onions, and salt. You can try grilling the bones for the soup too.
For your videos that are longer than 10 minutes, can you add time stamp links to the different sections in the description so it's easier to reference?
Hey Yakitoriguy...thank you for the new video ! Keep the videos long please and detailed if possible..your videos are amazing to learn from....following you on instagram already...looking forward to the next one.
Question: if I take a whole chicken and break it down how you suggest, make skewers as you suggest, do you have any idea how many skewers I would end up with roughly?
Depends on what type of skewers you make but I can usually get about 13-14 pairs (so 26-28) from one chicken. All the skewers you see in this video times 2 and few extra: th-cam.com/video/Cb78gv3A6a8/w-d-xo.html The breast is where you can get lots of skewers from if you want.
Using steady burning charcoal like Ogatan or Binchotan and stacking it up to prevent air gaps really helps. But in general, just gotta be actively moving it around. More on here: th-cam.com/video/c-8ismTIudU/w-d-xo.html
It's really simple as boiling the bones with some onion/chicken scraps from your trimming and salt to start as a base. When serving the broth, add some chopped onions, rice or tempura cracker crips etc. If you're on Instagram I did show a Grilled Riceball soup on IG Live if you scroll back half a year ago or so.
The fat will drip off and get absorbed into the charcoal, fall into drip tray, or become smoke flavor for the skewer. However often times on a gas or charcoal grill it becomes flare ups that add black soot onto your skewers so you have to know how to control your grill to prevent that. That's where the pre boiling technique can help to prevent that. However if you pack your charcoal right and have the right temp/air control, the fats really help with golden crispy chicken skin skewers.
Just finished a yakitori session at home. The skin skewer was an instant favorite. My grandma loved it the most.
Glad you and your family are enjoying the Yakitori made with the tutorials!

Yea unless it's boiled, skin can be very tricky to do compared to skewering the meat. It gets easier with practice though!
What seasoning you use for the skin?
I tried making yakitori this past weekend on my YAK grill. A big problem I encountered was my skewers being off balance. I used the paddle skewers but my skewers would flip back on their own when I try to flip it to its other side. Is there a a way to visually know how to balance to the skewer to prevent the flips?

Thank you so much
Please advise on where to buy the two metal 1/2”x1/2” rods you use on the grill?
Are they stainless steel or alloy?
You can get them from the accessories section of Yak Grill or Bincho Grill.
@@Yakitoriguy got it.Thank you!
Favorite part of my Friday 😍
Great! Will keep on going!
It would be nice to see you cook them at the end of each video. It would be very motivating to us watching.
Yup, I've saved them all for the grilling tutorial that comes a bit later. Think of these videos as a whole chicken cooking class.
Can you do a video on what you do with the bones? Like how do you make the soup?
Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, you can use the bones for making Tare as I show in my Tare video. As regards to making the soup, I simply just do bone, water, some onions, and salt. You can try grilling the bones for the soup too.
For your videos that are longer than 10 minutes, can you add time stamp links to the different sections in the description so it's easier to reference?
The videos aren't too long., they are informative..
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
How about mixing solilaise with it
Hey Yakitoriguy...thank you for the new video ! Keep the videos long please and detailed if possible..your videos are amazing to learn from....following you on instagram already...looking forward to the next one.
Glad you're learning each time! Thanks for following!

The kawa is definitely worth the struggle!
It is!
loving the content. beers on me if we ever run into each other chef.
Glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully you've learned a thing or two and keep sharing Yakitori with the world. Cheers!
Hello can you show how to remove the meat from the neck? Like your videos. Keep on💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Yup, its in the Chicken Breakdown Video th-cam.com/video/HQxJvpP6y0c/w-d-xo.html
Thx for the vids
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see you cook them😋
When grilling skin, it always flare up on me. What do you do in case of flare up?
Using steady burning charcoal like Ogatan or Binchotan and stacking it up to prevent air gaps really helps. But in general, just gotta be actively moving it around. More on here: th-cam.com/video/c-8ismTIudU/w-d-xo.html

When serving the broth, add some chopped onions, rice or tempura cracker crips etc. If you're on Instagram I did show a Grilled Riceball soup on IG Live if you scroll back half a year ago or so.
What to do if skin is very fatty? Will the fat just burn off when cooking?

@@Yakitoriguy Thank you for the response! Your channel is excellent. Wish you all the best with your love of yakitori + this channel!
you are amazing
awesome
Quick comment, videos can be condensed to less than 10 mins, people don’t have time to watch the whole thing. Also, it can be zoomed in for details.
Thanks for your feedback. These were my first few videos when I first started filming. Hopefully you enjoy the newer shorter ones with better edit.
I feel like all of this is begging to be paired with beer
Cheers!🍻
You talk too much
