Ingredients
- 2 lb Chicken thighs
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups White rice
Steps
- Whisk the huli huli sauce and marinate the chicken at least 2 hours — overnight if you plan ahead.
- Grill over medium heat, turning and basting constantly; huli huli means turn-turn, and the turning is the technique.
- The sugars will char — that mahogany crust is the goal, not a mistake.
- Rest, chop into pieces, and serve over rice with the reduced marinade (boiled 3 minutes) as extra sauce.
- Reserve some marinade before adding the chicken, boil it 3 minutes, and serve it as extra sauce.
