Ingredients
  • 4 lbs chicken thighs & drumsticks
  • 1 cup pineapple juice, unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • ½ tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin spice
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha, adjust to taste
  • ½ - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
  • Place the chicken pieces in a large self-sealing bag and season.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, tomato sauce, ginger, cumin, lemon juice and garlic.
  • Pour marinade into the self-sealing bag with the chicken. Thoroughly mix so chicken is covered with marinade.
  • Seal and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
  • When ready to cook - remove chicken from the fridge, and careful drain. Set marinade aside. In a small saucepan simmer the remaining Huli Huli marinade for about 5 minutes.
  • Adjust taste with chicken broth, pepper and/or tomato sauce. If you want a thicker sauce then add more tomato sauce.
  • Grilling: Oil your grill grid and add chicken. Grill for about 10 - 15 minutes each side. You may baste with cooked marinade towards the last 5 minutes of grilling.
