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.

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN & PINEAPPLE COOKED MY WAY



Hawaiian Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Cooked My Way image

This recipe came from Grocery Budget 101 - and the taste was so good I wanted to make sure and keep the recipe where I can find it again! The recipe called for alternating pineapple chunks(canned) and chicken on skewers that had been soaked in water - I have a cast iron grill pan and cooked the pineapple (canned) and marinated chicken on it - screaming hot ! and while it cooked I made up the sauce. NOTE : Changes to recipe : I skipped the cornstarch step, throwing out used marinade, made more marinade to drizzle over the dish at table. Added Bell Peppers and Onions to Fresh Pineapple chunks grilled along with the chicken. Used Boneless Skinnless Chicken Thighs instead of Chicken Breasts.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup pineapple chunk (Pineapple chunks,drained, fresh cut into chunks )
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or Sherry )
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
leftover marinade

Steps:

  • In baggie mix marinade - add chicken pieces to baggie and rotate until all the pieces of chicken are coated. I put the chicken in the refrigerator while I cooked up some rice, You can marinate for up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat grill pan - until screaming hot, - spraying with cooking spray before adding chicken chunks from the marinate and placing the pineapple chunks around the chicken until all have been added to the grill. When chicken releases from grill, no cheating, turn and grill the chicken and the pineapple on the other side.
  • Take the marinade left in the baggie and add it to a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. When marinade is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch mixture and return to a boil and stir until thickened.
  • Take the chicken and the pineapple from the grill and add to the thickened sauce and stir well until all is well coated.
  • To serve place rice on platter and top with the chicken and pineapple.
  • NOTE: I thought that adding some green bell pepper and some onions to this would make it even better -- maybe next time !
