All Purpose Hawaiian Marinade

Submitted by Savvy Hostess

"I originally concocted this recipe for a party I hostessed. I used it on chicken thighs and legs, but since then, I've tried it beef and pork, as well. I also think it would be awesome on tuna steaks or shrimp! I've also used Pineapple Coconut Juice and it's EXCELLENT. Enough for 3 lbs meat of choice."

This was a great combination of flavors. We really enjoyed the pineapple juice and that the soy wasn't the dominant flavor, as is so often the case. I wasn't sure about the 5-spice but trusted the recipe & we're really glad I did! I marinated chicken thighs overnight and then just cooked them on the stove. I can't wait for summer weather when we can pull out the BBQ & try this marinade on everything else! Thanks, Savvy Hostess! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.

Thanks to Let's P-A-R-T-Y! event I found this recipe to try. The flavors of this marinade are soo good. We are so glad we had left overs for the next night. This recipe will be in our top 10 marinades to make again.
