CHICAGO (WLS) — Chef Daniel Meredith with Birdman Ramen joined Cooking up a Storm Thursday to show off how to make chicken yakitori.

They have locations in Lakeview and Streeterville, and strive to push the limits on what a bowl of ramen can be.

A lot of their recipes are “bird-” or poultry-based.
