Hawaiian Huli Huli Grilled Chicken Wings Recipe

INGREDIENTS

For the Marinade/Sauce:
• 1 cup of soy sauce
• 1 cup of ketchup
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 2 1/2 teaspoons of freshly minced ginger
• 2 - 3 cloves of garlic, minced or grated
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or a bit less or more - depending on how you like it)


For the Chicken:
• 8 - 10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds or so)
• Canola or olive oil (for the grill)
• Sliced green onions for garnish

INstructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper until everything comes together into a a rich deep amber sauce.
2. Reserve 1 1/2 - 2 cups of sauce for basting the chicken in a separate container and put it in the fridge.
3. I lightly tenderized the chicken thighs but if you don't have a tenderizer, don't sweat it. It does help the meat get more juicy tho.
4. Add the chicken thighs to a large plastic bag and pour over the remaining Huli Huli marinade. Seal the bag.
5. Squish the bag, making sure that all the chicken is covered with the sauce.
6. Put in the fridge and let marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. When you are getting ready to grill, remove the chicken 30 minutes prior and let come to room temperature.
8. Lightly oil the grates with a bit of oil on a paper towel, using some long tongs
9. Preheat the grill to medium - medium high heat.
10. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill.
11. Grill the chicken thighs on one side for about 7 minutes or so until it releases easily.
12. Flip and baste the chicken with the reserved marinade/sauce.
13. Let cook for about 6 minutes, flip and baste again - cooking for a couple minutes.
14. Do one more round of basting/flipping - so that the sauce forms a bit of a crust.
15. Garnish with the sliced green onions and enjoy!
