Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 cloves garlic, mashed
- 1 piece ginger root, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce and water.
- Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
- Add the sliced ginger and mashed garlic to the mixture.
- Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure it’s coated well. You can marinate for up to 3 days, or boil it immediately in the marinade.
Cooking
- Grill the chicken over high heat until it is charred and cooked through.
- Once grilled, transfer the chicken to a pot on the grill, pour the remaining sauce over it, and steam briefly to enhance the flavor.
Serving
- Serve Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Chicken hot off the grill, sliced or whole, alongside a bowl of steamed rice and fresh vegetables.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or stovetop until warmed through. For extra flavor, add pineapple chunks to the marinade or grill them alongside the chicken. For a thicker sauce, simmer the remaining marinade on the stovetop until reduced.
