Hawaiian Turn Turn Chicken

A flavorful chicken dish marinated in pineapple juice, soy sauce, and fresh ginger, perfect for grilling or baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  2. Place chicken thighs in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Serve garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

Marinate longer for better flavor, but do not exceed 24 hours. Pat the skin dry before grilling for a crisp finish.
