Make the Yakitori Sauce
Broil the bones from one whole chicken for 7-9 minutes, until they are toasty brown.
Add all the ingredients to a large pot (including the chicken bones) and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer for one hour. The liquid should reduce in half. Strain into a jar.
Prepare the Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Yakitori
Carefully insert the skewer into the asparagus spear
Wrap a single slice of bacon in a spiral around the asparagus
Grill
Set your grill to 350 degrees. The direct flame will cook the bacon quickly, so watch it closely.
Add the skewers to the grate
Check the asparagus after two to three minutes. The bottom side should be close to being completely cooked.
Turn the asparagus over
Brush with the Yakitori Sauce
Remove from grill after another two to three minutes, or when the bacon is completely cooked
