Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ¾ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, broth, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Take out 1 cup and reserve for basting (and refrigerate).
  2. Place the rest of the marinade into a large Ziploc bag with the thighs. Refrigerate overnight.
  3. Discard marinade from chicken and grill thighs until no longer pink (about 8 minutes per side), basting with the extra marinade as you grill. Serve warm. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Make a freezer meal. Freeze the chicken in the marinade. Use a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible before sealing. Lay flat and freeze for up to 6 months. To use, thaw the bag overnight in the fridge. The chicken will continue to marinate as it thaws and be ready to throw on the grill.
  • STORE. Leftover authentic huli huli chicken recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • FREEZE in a freezer-safe airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
