from the wildhive kitchen

Yakitori translates to 'skewered bird.' The Wildhive recipe, currently being served on the Snap Menu, uses Venison but you could replace with chicken. Venison is virtually fat free and we source ours from award-winning local butcher, Owen Taylor.

In Japan, Yakitori would be served as street food or a casual meal, often paired with Japanese beer or sake. It would typically be cooked over a small rectangular grill with binchotan (Japanese white charcoal). This burns cleanly so doesn’t add flavour to the meat, the flavour comes from the hot grill. The meat cooks slowly which makes it lovely and tender. You can purchase a Yakitori grill quite inexpensively or alternatively char grill or pan fry.
