Marinade/Glaze:

Add all marinade ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Pour 1/2 of the mix over the chicken in a glass or ceramic container (not metal or plastic), coat chicken then marinade 24 - 48 hours.

Add the second half of the mix to a small saucepan.

Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

Thicken with corn starch.

Cooking:

Brush BBQ grills with oil then preheat to medium high, or heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat.

Drain excess marinade from chicken, place on BBQ/skillet.

Cook the first side for 2 - 3 minutes until golden (adjust heat if browning too fast), then flip and cook for 2 minutes.

Baste (dab) generously with reserved marinade/glaze, then flip and cook for 1 minute.

Repeat this every minute or so for a total cook time of 10 minutes, or until internal temp in the thickest part registers 160°F.

Transfer chicken to a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Garnish with green onion if desired.

Traditional Hawaiian recipe with in-your-face tropical flavours. Sweet, savoury, very sticky!

Best 24 – 48 hr marinade, but you can get away with 3 hrs but baste extra generously.
