Creating Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed.
4. Prepare the Chicken for Grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is caramelized and charred.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring tender meat.
7. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken if desired, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have delicious Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken ready to enjoy!
