Charcoal-Grilled Local Chicken

Flames rise as fat drips onto the charcoal. When the chicken thigh is thrust into the fire, the surface becomes fragrant and black, while the inside stays moist. As you chew, the savory flavors seep out from deep within the meat. Miyazaki's local chicken is known as 'Jitokko.' It is said that the name originates from the fact that local residents once presented it to the officials (Jito) of the Shimazu Clan. Because the native breed became rare and was designated a natural monument, 'Miyazaki Jitokko' was developed for culinary use. The cooking method of seasoning with salt and smoking over charcoal has been enjoyed in Miyazaki since ancient times. While the exact origin is unclear, 'Maruman Yakitori,' founded in 1954, is considered one of the original establishments. Please enjoy this fragrant dish along with some shochu.
