Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken thighs provides juicy, flavorful protein as the base of the dish

1/2 cup soy sauce adds savory umami and saltiness

1/3 cup brown sugar balances with sweetness to create the authentic Huli Huli glaze

1/4 cup pineapple juice enhances flavor with natural acidity and tropical notes

2 garlic cloves, minced boosts aromatic depth and taste

1 tsp ginger, grated adds a slight spicy warmth

2 cups cooked rice serves as a hearty and neutral base

Ketchup (unsweetened) for the marinade

Low-sodium tamari or soy sauce for the marinade

Unseasoned rice vinegar for the marinade

Worcestershire sauce for the marinade

Sriracha for the marinade and extra heat

Toasted sesame oil for the marinade

Grated fresh ginger for the marinade

Grated garlic for the marinade

Cooked jasmine rice for serving

Roasted broccoli for serving

Pineapple salsa for serving

Toasted sesame seeds for serving

Sliced green onions for serving

Additional sriracha for extra spiciness

Instructions

1-First, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves fully. For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight in the refrigerator.

2-Detailed Grilling Process: Preheat your grill or oven to 400Β°F (205Β°C) to ensure even cooking. If you’re adapting for vegan or gluten-free options, swap in tempeh or use gluten-free alternatives in the marinade.

3-Grill the chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side until they are cooked through and caramelized, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

4-While the protein cooks, prepare the rice and roast or sautΓ© vegetables like broccoli.

5-Assemble the bowl by placing rice at the base, topping with sliced grilled chicken, roasted broccoli, and pineapple salsa.

6-Finish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of any reserved marinade for extra glaze.

7-Serve warm, adding extra sriracha for more heat if you like it spicy.

Notes

πŸ§„ Use pre-grated ginger and garlic to save preparation time.
πŸ”₯ Oil grill grates well to prevent chicken from sticking.
