  • 2 tbspshichimi togarashi
  • 1 tbspkosher salt
  • 1 tspsugar
  • 1 tspgarlic powder

Method

  1. 1.Mix the rub

    Combine and store airtight. If you can't find shichimi, build a stand-in from 1 tbsp chili flakes, 1 tsp dried orange peel, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp poppy seeds, and a crumbled sheet of nori. A little black pepper with a scrape of lemon zest approximates the sansho note.

  2. 2.Apply and cook

    Dust chicken thighs before grilling over binchotan or a hot grill; finish with yakitori tare.
