Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Recipe - A Delicious Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 1 hour.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

    Avoid flipping the chicken too often for better grill marks.
  4. Prepare the Garnish

    While chicken is grilling, slice green onions for garnish.

    Use both green and white parts for added color.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve garnished with green onions.

    Pair with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
