I doubt that there is a single secret to the deliciousness of Morimoto's tsukune patties, but one key may be the force with which Watanabe kneads his mixture, making binding agents unnecessary. Then again, it may be that these patties use meat from the whole bird, including ground cartilage. And the addition of yuzu peel is a masterstroke.

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and knead thoroughly for several minutes. If the mixture is too sticky and soft, put in refrigerator to let firm. Shape into 8 balls.
Using 2 bamboo skewers, with 1/8 inch (3mm) space between them, spread the mixture lengthwise along the skewers. Sprinkle with salt. Grill, flipping once, until the surface is lightly golden and the chicken is cooked through, for 15 minutes.
Alternatively, cook in a toaster oven without skewers: flatten the ground chicken balls into ovals, lay on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through.
