Ingredients
Huli Huli Sauce & Marinade:
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup soy sauce light
- 1/3 cup sherry
- 2 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
- 2 cloves garlic , grated
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
Chicken:
- 2 pounds chicken thigh boneless fillets
- 8-12 lices pineapple , fresh or canned
- 2 tablespoons scallions , chopped diagonally
Instructions
For the Huli Huli Sauce:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, ginger and garlic.
- Use half of the sauce for the chicken marinade.
- Place the other half of the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water. Whisk into the sauce and continue heat and whisk until it thickens and start to become glossy.
- Set it aside for serving and dipping.
For the Chicken:
- Combine the raw chicken with half of the huli huli sauce in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but up to 1 day.
- Remove the chicken and discard excess marinade. Heat the grill to medium high heat (about 350°F) and oil the grates.
- Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F using an instant read digital thermometer. Remove and allow to rest while you grill the pineapple rings.
- Place the pineapple rings directly on the grates for 1-2 minutes or until they get grill marks.
- Remove and serve the chicken with the pineapple rings, garnish with chopped scallions and a side of the thickened huli huli sauce. If desired, you can baste with the cooked huli huli sauce before serving instead of serving on the side.
