  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 pounds chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless
– 1 cup pineapple juice
– ½ cup soy sauce
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– ¼ cup ketchup
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon grated ginger
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– Green onions, for garnish
– Sesame seeds, for garnish


Instructions

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

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil.
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill.
7. Rest Chicken: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices.
8. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

These steps will guide you in creating the incredible flavors of Huli Huli Chicken effortlessly.
