Paleo Chicken Yakitori aka Japanese Chicken Skewers (Whole30, Keto, AIP Option)

This low-carbohydrate, healthy old chicken satay is delicious and easy to make. This is the perfect recipe for Whole30 bread and summer ketones!

I have roasted today and I like it very much. Because of this, our food is fast, easy and delicious, and I have no husband or complaints at all. My latest innovation is this old chicken skewer, and recently I managed to take a photo of going to Japan last year. Not only do we have the most amazing raw sushi and fish, but we also have the most addictiveakiniku.

Recipe for Paleo Chicken Yakitori

Traditionally, Japanese yakitori recipes use sugar to give a smoky sauce. But in this low-carbohydrate and low-sugar version, I can use dates and coconut to make this natural sweet taste without you drinking sugar.

Not only can it ensure the health of chicken skewers, but it is not much different from traditional chicken recipes! Of course, if you don’t face the Whole30 challenge, honey can be used instead of jujube, it will be healthier than traditional jujube.

Instructions

2. Place all ingredients for the yakitori sauce in a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium high heat. Let the mixture come to a boil for about 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Separate 1/2 cup of the sauce for basting the chicken, and set aside the rest for serving.
5. Thread the chicken pieces and green onions on the skewers, alternating them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Generously grease the grill so the chicken won’t stick, then heat the grill over medium high heat.
7. Add the skewers on the grill, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the skewers and repeat.
8. Brush the top layer of skewers with the prepared yakitori sauce, then cover and cook for 2 more minutes. Flip the chicken, and repeat by putting on another layer of the sauce on the other side and cooking for 2 more minutes.
9. Serve immediately, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and with extra yakitori sauce.
