Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 57 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 cup pineapple juice
– ½ cup soy sauce
– ¼ cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Sliced green onions for garnish
– Fresh pineapple slices for grilling (optional)


Instructions

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

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
6. Baking Option: If baking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until cooked through.
7. Grill Pineapple (Optional): If desired, grill the pineapple slices for a few minutes on each side until caramelized.
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced green onions over the chicken for added flavor and presentation.
