Chicken Yakitori Courtesy Of: 10 bamboo skewers
1/2 cup	soy sauce
1/2 cup	sake
	dry sherry, alternative
2 teaspoons	sugar
1 tablespoon	peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons	snipped chives
2 pounds	chicken breast fillets
12	scallions, (shallots/spring onions), dark green tops removed
	olive oil, for brushing
1/2 cup	soy sauce, for dipping

Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain. Place soy sauce, sake, sugar, ginger and chives in a screw-top jar and shake well to mix.

Trim chicken breasts of any fat and membranes and cut into bite-sized cubes, about 1 1/2 inches. Place chicken cubes in a shallow glass or ceramic dish, pour marinade over cubes, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat a stovetop grill pan, broiler (grill), or barbecue.

Cut scallions into 2-inch lengths. Drain chicken, and thread cubes onto skewers alternately with scallions. Brush chicken and scallions with olive oil and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side.

Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.

(Can be assembled 2 hours ahead. Then cook and serve.)
