Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for the flavors to meld.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
-
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), basting with the reserved marinade occasionally.
-
While grilling the chicken, you can also grill the pineapple slices for about 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized.
-
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Serve the Grilled Hawaiian Chicken with the grilled pineapple slices on top and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a pop of freshness.
