This Hawaiian BBQ Chicken recipe brings the vibrant flavors of the tropics to your table. Marinated in a blend of soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, fresh ginger, and garlic, the chicken thighs absorb a delightful mix of sweet and savory notes. Grilled to perfection, the chicken develops a caramelized crust while remaining juicy and tender inside. Ideal for summer cookouts or a flavorful weeknight dinner, this dish pairs wonderfully with rice, grilled pineapple, or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

• 2–5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  
  

• ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  
  

• ¾ cup ketchup
  
  

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
  
  

• ⅓ cup chicken broth
  
  

• 2½ teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  
  

• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
   
   

2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
   
   

3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving 1 cup of the marinade for basting. Grill the chicken thighs for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), brushing with the reserved marinade during the grilling process.
   
   

4. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
