Hi there! Is anyone up for trying dishes from around the world? I'm excited to share this super yummy recipe from Hawaii. Hope you like it!
Ingredients
▢1.5 kg / 3 lb chicken thighs (or breast, Note 1)
▢1 tbsp vegetable oil
MARINADE:
▢3/4 cup pineapple juice, canned or bottled (NOT FRESH!) , unsweetened (Note 2)
▢1 1/2 tbsp ginger , freshly grated (Note 3)
▢1 1/2 tbsp garlic , freshly grated (Note 3)
▢1/2 cup tomato ketchup (or Aussie tomato sauce)
▢1/2 cup soy sauce
▢1/4 cup sherry or Chinese cooking wine (Note 4)
▢1/4 cup brown sugar
▢1 tbsp Sriracha
▢2 tbsp rice vinegar (or cider vinegar)
▢1 tbsp sesame oil , toasted
GARNISHES, OPTIONAL:
▢Sliced green onion
▢Pineapple slices , grilled for 3 minutes on each side for lines
Instructions
MARINADE:
Mix marinade, set aside 3/4 cup (185 ml) for basting.
Pour the rest over the chicken in a glass or ceramic container (not metal or plastic), coat chicken then marinade 24 - 48 hours.
COOKING:
Brush BBQ grills with oil then preheat to medium high, or heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Drain excess marinade from chicken, place on BBQ/skillet.
Cook the first side for 2 - 3 minutes until golden (adjust heat if browning too fast), then flip and cook for 2 minutes.
Baste (dab) generously with reserved marinade, then flip and cook for 1 minute.
Repeat this every minute or so for a total cook time of 10 minutes, or until internal temp in the thickest part registers 75°C/167°F (for thigh) or 65°C / 150°F (for breast).
Transfer chicken to a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving, garnished with green onion if desired.
