Description

Huli Huli Chicken is a popular Hawaiian dish known for its sweet and tangy flavor. The chicken is marinated in a delicious sauce and grilled to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes.
