Method

To make the marinade, in a shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the chicken in a single layer, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, and ginger.
Add the chicken, turn to coat evenly, and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat the broiler.
