HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

This has become a family favorite! The key to the delicious flavor is letting the chicken sit in the marinade overnight, and then letting the cooked chicken sit in the green onion-butter bath! Suggested sides would be steamed rice, green salad, and sliced fresh pineapple for a meal that will transport you to the islands!

Time 4h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups unsweetened pineapple juice
¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¾ cup brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat
1 stick unsalted butter
3 green onions, including green tops, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger together in a bowl until brown sugar has dissolved. Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs and coat with the marinade. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Reduce heat to low on one burner of the preheated grill. Place oven-safe dish over the low burner; add butter and green onions to the dish and allow to slowly melt. Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill chicken in batches over the medium burners, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes per batch.
  • When chicken is cooked, place each piece into the butter and onion "bath", turning a couple of times to ensure it is well coated. Continue to grill remaining chicken, adding each piece to the butter and onion "bath", pushing already-coated pieces to the side until all pieces have been coated.

GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN

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.

Time 4h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed
2 cups water
2 cups low-sodium soy sauce
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 bunch green onions, chopped
¼ cup white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Whisk water, soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, green onions, white onion, sesame oil, and garlic together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they will absorb the marinade well.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-coated in the marinade: Use a resealable plastic bag or a glass dish to marinate the chicken. Make sure the chicken is completely submerged in the marinade, and turn it occasionally to ensure even coverage.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're cooking the chicken on the grill, make sure to preheat the grill to medium heat before adding the chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy. A meat thermometer is the best way to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
