Experience the taste of the tropics at home with this Island Breeze Hawaiian Chicken. Flavorful, tender chicken thighs are marinated in a delightful combination of pineapple, ginger, garlic, and barbecue sauce, then grilled to sticky perfection for a mouthwatering meal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Whisk well to create the marinade.
2
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are well coated.
3
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
4
Preheat your grill or a grill pan on medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill, grilling for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
6
As the chicken cooks, baste it with the leftover marinade to keep it moist and flavorful. Discard any remaining marinade.
7
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
