Island Marinated Chicken

Have you ever been to a Pacific Islanders home or party? If not, I bet you’ve tried Hawaiian barbecue. Yes? Well if you have, you know we marinate our meat like no other. If you haven’t, don’t worry, you will be cooking up perfect meat that will surely be a crowd pleaser.💥

This sweet and savory recipe has the perfect marination that never disappoints. The marinade is so easy and goes well with most meats. These boneless and skinless chicken thighs are juicy, tender and full of flavor. You won’t go back to a basic marinade after trying this recipe out, I promise. ✨

I grew up eating barbecued chicken and ribs that were marinated in a very similar recipe. The ingredients may be slightly different in each household, but the tight-knit bond that barbecues bring to our family is unforgettable. After trying and testing marinades, I came up with this perfect recipe that I hope you will give a try. Enjoy! 😋
