Instructions
MAKE MARINADE
- Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar (or coconut sugar), ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, grated ginger (if using), smoked paprika and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside 1/2-3/4 cup of marinade for basting later.
- Add chicken thighs to a glass or ceramic bowl and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Give the chicken a good stir then let it marinate for 3 hours - overnight.
GRILL
- Brush grill grates with olive oil then heat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard the marinade.
- Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side (or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thighs). Baste the thighs (on both sides) with reserved marinade during the last 2-3 minutes then transfer them to a plate once done.
- Place pineapple rings on the grill and cook until you see grill marks (about 1-2 minutes).
- Serve Huli Huli Chicken immediately with grilled pineapple and any extra marinade. Sprinkle green onion over the top, if desired.
