Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, pineapple juice, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly heated and glowing.

3

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

4

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your Huli Huli Chicken!
