Grilled Huli Huli Chicken

Submitted by diner524

"Another recipe that I found on Taste of Home that I would like to try soon. Here is what the author state: "I got this grilled chicken recipe from a friend while living in Hawaii. It sizzles with the flavors of brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce. Huli mean "turn" in Hawaiian. —Sharon Boling, Coronado, California." This serves a lot, so feel free to scale it back if needed."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3⁄4 cup ketchup
• 3⁄4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1⁄3 cup sherry wine (or chicken broth)
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 24 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 5 pounds)

directions

1. In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Reserve 1-1/3 cups for basting; cover and refrigerate. Divide remaining marinade between two large resealable plastic bags. Add 12 chicken thighs to each; seal bags and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
3. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until no longer pink; baste occasionally with reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes.

This made a great final dinner in Hawaii. Easy to mix up and makes a lot for leftovers. My son actually put leftovers for his lunch tomorrow.

I used about 1 pound of chicken breast tenders and made about 1/2 the amount of sauce/marinade. We really loved this chicken! 1 minute each side at high heat, then 2 min each side with a lower flame. (gas grill) Perfectly done - meat was flavorful and not dry. Thanks, Diner! Made for SWT2018

Wow, that's about all I can say. This is a winner, never thought anything so easy could be so good. Pretty much followed the recipe except was out of ketchup (can you believe that) so subbed barbecue sauce, so good, that sweet, tangy taste that we all love and was not hardly a bone left when all was done.

I did cut the recipe down, and it still worked very well. Very easy to make. I started the marinade in the morning, and by dinnertime I was ready to grill! Thanks for sharing! Made for Newest Tag Game.

I used the recipe for 8 skinless, but bone in chicken thighs so reduced the amounts. The marinade was extra easy to make, uses pantry staples, and adds a delicious touch of Asia to the chicken. What else does one need? I served it with a repeat of your Crazy Rice (recipe #456438) and sliced cantaloupe. It made for a terrific & easy meal! Thanks diner!
