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.

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.

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.

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 green onions, diced
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
meat or poultry, of your choice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Allow meat to marinate in zip top baggies for 12 to 48 hours.
  • Remove meat from bags and pour marinade into sauce pan. Bring to boil over medium high heat and for 10 minutes.
  • Baste meat with marinade in between flips on the grill.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will ensure that the marinade can penetrate the chicken deeply and evenly.
  • Make the Marinade in Advance: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. To allow the flavors to fully develop, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Chicken: When marinating the chicken, make sure that it is not overcrowded in the container. This will prevent the chicken from marinating evenly.
  • Use a Variety of Marinade Ingredients: Experiment with different marinade ingredients to create a unique and flavorful chicken dish. Some popular ingredients include soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Grill or Bake the Chicken: Once the chicken is marinated, it can be cooked using a variety of methods. Grilling or baking are both great options for cooking Hawaiian chicken.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
