Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice*
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy)
  • 1 tablespoon Asian chili sauce
  • 1 tsp EACH ground ginger, onion powder, garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp EACH paprika, salt, pepper

Instruction

  • Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a large freezer bag or bowl. Remove 1/4 cup to baste chicken while grilling.
  • Add chicken, remove excess air, seal and turn to coat. Marinate 4-24 hours (marinate up to 12 hours if using chicken breasts).
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat (375-400 degrees F), clean and grease. Add chicken and cook 6-8 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and the chicken registers 165-175 degrees F. Baste the chicken with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade the last 3 minutes.
  • Hawaiian chicken is especially delicious with fresh grilled pineapple and cilantro lime rice.
