GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN



Grilled Hawaiian Chicken image

This is a family favorite! Every time I serve this chicken, I get rave reviews! I serve this over coconut rice garnished with green onions. It makes a beautiful presentation. To make coconut rice, simply replace half of the water with coconut milk and cook rice as directed. This recipe makes a lot of marinade. If I am serving more people I will increase the amount of chicken and keep the recipe for the marinade the same. Goes really well with steamed broccoli or edamame.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and garlic. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice caramelized crust on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside moist.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Hawaiian chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or fruit salad.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its sweet and savory flavors, Hawaiian chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
