Reminiscent of the days when I would enjoy these at my local Izakaya in Tokyo, these delicious Yakitori skewers taste just like the real thing but without all of the added sugar. You can use any of our sweeteners in this recipe including our stevia drops. This is a recipe the whole family is going to love. Make them larger for a meal sized portion or reduce the size of your diced chicken and make smaller ‘snack’ sized skewers. You may want to give these a try!
