scallion.

skewered livers about 3 inches from the heat for about 4 minutes. Then dip
them in the teriyaki sauce and broil for 4 to 5 minutes on the other side.
Set the livers aside on a plate.
Quickly dip the chicken and scallion skewers into the teriyaki sauce and
broil on one side for 2 or 3 minutes. dip again into the sauce, grill for
2 minute, dip once more, and grill on the other side for an additional 2
minutes. The entire grilling should take 6 to 7 minutes in all.
