Best 6 Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Recipes
Tantalize your taste buds with the delectable Grilled Hawaiian Chicken, a symphony of flavors that will transport you to the tropical paradise of Hawaii. This dish embodies the essence of Hawaiian cuisine, with its vibrant marinade that infuses the chicken with a burst of tangy, sweet, and savory notes.
The marinade, a harmonious blend of pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, seeps into the chicken, tenderizing it and imbuing it with an irresistible flavor. The chicken is then grilled to perfection, resulting in a succulent, juicy interior and a beautifully charred exterior.
Accompanying the grilled chicken is a refreshing pineapple salsa, a medley of sweet pineapple chunks, crisp red onion, and tangy cilantro. This salsa adds a vibrant pop of color and flavor to the dish, perfectly complementing the grilled chicken.
To complete this Hawaiian feast, the article also includes recipes for two additional dishes that capture the spirit of the islands: Hawaiian Macaroni Salad and Tropical Fruit Salad. The macaroni salad, with its creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, sweet pineapple, crunchy celery, and salty ham, is a classic Hawaiian side dish that adds a touch of creamy richness to the meal. The tropical fruit salad, a vibrant medley of fresh pineapple, mango, papaya, and kiwi, offers a refreshing and healthy finish to your Hawaiian culinary journey.
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.

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!

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.

NIF'S GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SKEWERS
This is a dish that I made up as I went along! It's easy and uses ingredients that most of us have on hand. There is probably enough marinade for twice the amount of chicken. I wasn't going to have a chance to stir the chicken so I wanted to make sure that it covered all of the chicken. I served this over brown basmati rice. The marinating time is not included. ****NOTE: I do not recommend marinating this for more than 2 hours. I find it gets a grainy texture if marinated too long. Enjoy!
