Huli Huli Chicken
Ingredients
2 1/2 - 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut in half
20 oz can sliced pineapples (reserve 1/2 cup juice for marinade)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
In a bowl mix together 1/2 cup of canned pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic and black pepper. Remove and reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade for basting.
Add chicken thighs to the marinade and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Place reserved marinade in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Let simmer until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Preheat outdoor grill to medium high/high heat. Place chicken on grill, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip chicken over and baste with the sauce. Cover and cook for another 5-6 minutes and continue to base as needed. Place pineapple slices on the grill and cook 3-4 minutes per side.
