Description

This Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Chicken recipe delivers a comforting, flavorful dish featuring juicy grilled chicken thighs marinated in a sweet and tangy pineapple-infused teriyaki sauce. Perfectly charred on the grill and topped with fresh green onions, it’s an easy yet impressive meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken thighs

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil thoroughly to create a balanced teriyaki sauce.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for cooking the chicken evenly with a slight char.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
  5. Brush with Marinade: While grilling, frequently brush the chicken with the remaining marinade to enhance the flavor and keep the chicken moist.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute for optimal tenderness.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the grilled chicken before serving for a fresh, aromatic finish.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, but up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken using a grill pan or broiler in the oven.
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to guarantee it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed rice and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
