Delicious Huli Huli Chicken Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, pineapple juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

    Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.

    Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    This helps achieve a nice char on the chicken.
  4. Grill the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

    Serve with grilled vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
