No! Pork is another common protein choice for yakitori. I'm interested in trying u003cemu003ebutabarau003c/emu003e, which is a version made with pork belly. Even when it is made with chicken there is more than just breast and thigh meat that can be used. u003cemu003eTsukuneu003c/emu003e (another type of yakitori) are Japanese meatballs that are most often made with ground chicken and skewered like you see here. But in Japan you will also find yakitori made with all parts of the chicken from the heart to the tongue, gizzard, liver, and intestines.
