Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken is a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of teriyaki sauce with the tropical sweetness of pineapple.
Here’s a description of this mouthwatering recipe:
**Tender Chicken:** Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken typically features tender and juicy chicken pieces,
whether it’s boneless chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful teriyaki sauce, allowing the meat to absorb the sweet and savory flavors.
**Pineapple Slices:** To enhance the tropical flair of the dish, pineapple slices are often added to the chicken. The natural sweetness of the pineapple complements the savory teriyaki sauce, adding a refreshing and juicy element to each bite.
. Grilling imparts a smoky char to the chicken, while baking results in tender and succulent meat with a sticky glaze.
These garnishes provide a fresh, aromatic accent to the dish and add texture to each bite.
Ingredients :
- 3 pounds chicken thigh ( boneless, skinless )
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 clove(s) garlic ( 3-5 cloves, crushed )
- 1 ginger root ( 2-3 slices, cut thin and lengthwise )
Directions :
This is the basic ratio for the sauce, you will just increase it depending on how much meat you are soaking. You want there to be enough marinade that you can stir the meat freely. If it’s hard to stir, you need to add more sauce.
-Combine the water and soy sauce and then dissolve the sugar in the liquid. Add the desired amounts of ginger and garlic. Add the chicken. -You can soak the meat in the marinade for up to 3 days but you want to soak it for at least 24 hours.
You can also boil the chicken in the sauce right after you make it if you want to eat it sooner than later.
-After you have marinated the meat for a few days, you are ready to grill. Just cook the meat on the grill like you would any other meat.
If you are cooking a lot, grill it on hot heat and then stick it in a put on the grill.
-Add a little fresh teriyaki sauce to the pot and it will steam the grilled chicken assuring the chicken ends up very tender and juicy.
