HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN



Hawaiian Grilled Chicken image

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



Grilled Hawaiian Chicken image

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.

ALL PURPOSE HAWAIIAN MARINADE



All Purpose Hawaiian Marinade image

I originally concocted this recipe for a party I hostessed. I used it on chicken thighs and legs, but since then, I've tried it beef and pork, as well. I also think it would be awesome on tuna steaks or shrimp! I've also used Pineapple Coconut Juice and it's EXCELLENT. Enough for 3 lbs meat of choice.

HAWAIIAN STEAK MARINADE (CHICKEN TOO)

Provided by samidc

Categories     Steak

Time 5m

Yield 2 Steaks

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
6 ounces pineapple juice (I always add more)
1 cup soy sauce (I sometimes add a little less of this one and more pine)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves

Steps:

  • I combine it all on the stove then bring to a boil -- Allow marinade to cool. Once marinade cools off pour into a container or bag and place the steaks in it and let it sit for 72hrs.

Tips:

  • Choose quality chicken. Look for chicken pieces that are plump and have a healthy pink color.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your marinade will be.
  • Don't marinate the chicken for too long. Marinating the chicken for more than 24 hours can make it tough.
  • Use a food-safe container to marinate the chicken. This will help to prevent contamination.
  • Refrigerate the chicken while it is marinating. This will help to keep it fresh.
  • Discard the marinade after you have used it. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your next grilled or roasted chicken dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will infuse your chicken with the tropical flavors of Hawaii. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give Hawaiian chicken marinade a try. You won't be disappointed!
