Baked Huli Huli Chicken

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

1 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup ketchup

1/4 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish (optional)

Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer in a large baking dish.

In a saucepan, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and

sesame oil. Heat over medium to a low boil.

Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce, whisking until thickened.

Pour sauce over chicken, coating thoroughly.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and sauce

caramelizes. Baste with sauce halfway through.

 

Let rest a few minutes before serving.

 

Garnish with pineapple slices, green onions, and sesame seeds.
