  • Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, water, brown sugar, and green onion in a saucepan. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until sauce has reduced slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, thread chicken skin onto skewers lengthwise; skin should be slightly bunched up, but not too taut. Sprinkle skewers with salt.
  • Cook skewers on the preheated grill until nicely browned and crispy but not until fat has completely rendered, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is crispy, about 5 minutes more.
  • Blot each yakitori lightly with a paper towel before serving. Serve with cooled tare sauce on the side.
