Creating Huli Huli Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove and Discard Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinating bowl, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Season the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and have nice grill marks.
7. Let It Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
8. Slice and Garnish: Slice the chicken as desired, then garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll create a dish that not only tastes amazing but also looks beautiful on your dinner table.
