Yakitori Chicken (Japanese-style chicken kebabs)

What you need for the chicken:
6 boneless chicken thighs with the skin on
1 bunch scallions
1 cup yakitori sauce
Or make your own yakitori sauce:
2/3 cup soy sauce
½ cup sugar
5 tsp dry white wine (sake)
1 tbsp flour

How to
Cut the chicken thigh into 6-7 chunks each and cut the scallion into 1 inch long pieces.
Thread the chicken and scallions onto 12-13 bamboo skewers. BBQ them, brush them several times with the sauce. Allow 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

If you make your own sauce
Stir the soy sauce, sugar and sake or wine into the flour in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/3 then set aside.
