Looking for a dish that combines tropical flavors with a succulent twist? Try this Delicious Huli Huli Chicken recipe! Originating from Hawaii, Huli Huli Chicken is known for its tantalizing blend of sweet and savory flavors, making it a hit at any barbecue or family dinner.
**Ingredients*
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
**Instructions*
1. **Prepare the Marinade* In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
2. **Marinate the Chicken* Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for more flavor.
3. **Preheat the Grill* Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
4. **Grill the Chicken* Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken has a nice caramelized exterior.
5. **Glaze and Serve* During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the remaining marinade for extra flavor. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
6. **Garnish and Enjoy* Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
This Huli Huli Chicken is perfect for summer cookouts or any time you crave a taste of the islands. The combination of pineapple and soy sauce creates a delightful balance of sweetness and umami, while the grilling adds a smoky char that makes this dish truly irresistible.
