INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup (60 mililiters) packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (60 mililiters) mirin
1/4 cup (60 mililiters) sake
2 tablespoon (30 mililiters) soy sauce
2 teaspoon (10 mililiters) Ginger Ground
1/2 teaspoon (2 mililiters) Garlic Powder

What you'll need

Preparation

1 Mix brown sugar, mirin, sake, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic powder in medium bowl. Reserve ½ cup (125mL) for the glaze.
2 Place chicken wings in large resealable plastic bag. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor.
3 Stir cornstarch into reserved marinade. Bring to boil in small saucepan. Reduce heat to low; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool 5 minutes. Stir in Wasabi Furikake Seasoning. Pour glaze into large bowl. Set aside.
4 Remove wings from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Thread 1, each flat and drumstick, wing piece crosswise onto 2 skewers. Grill wings over medium heat 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally.
5 Brush wings with reserved glaze. Sprinkle with additional Wasabi Furikake Seasoning and green onions before serving.
6 Tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
