Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 to 2 Tbsps hot sauce of choice
  • 1 Tbsp garlic paste or minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp ginger paste or minced ginger
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
  • 20 oz can pineapple chunks
  • 1 red onion
  • 6 kabob skewers (if wood soak in water for a few hours)
  • kosher salt, pepper
Instructions

  1. Put the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, hot sauce, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, this will thicken the sauce.

  2. While the sauce cools, cut the chicken into inch size pieces and place them in a gallon size plastic bag. Add a few spoonfuls of the huli huli sauce and massage the bag until the chicken is coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.

  3. Drain the liquid from the pineapple can and cut the onion into similar size pieces as the pineapple and chicken. Put the chicken, pineapple, and onion on 6 kabob skewers and season with kosher salt and pepper.

  4. Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Grill the kabobs 10 to 12 minutes total, turning a few times and brushing with some of the huli huli sauce.

  5. Serve with remaining huli huli sauce on the side for dipping.
