This Grilled Huli Huli Chicken is a crowd-pleasing recipe with a deliciously tangy marinade that’s simple to make and packed with flavor! It’s perfect for any occasion, and you’ll want to make it again and again!

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breasts can also be used)
  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • tsp minced garlic
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside 1 cup of the sauce for basting the chicken later.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken, covered, for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, occasionally baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
  • Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a bit of extra flavor, try adding a little extra ginger or garlic to the marinade.
  • This dish pairs well with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
