Huli Chicken

The pictures do not do it justice ;o)

This is the best marinade I have come across yet!

Ingredients:Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 C Water
1 C Soy Sauce
1 C packed brown sugar
¼ C Dried Sesame Seeds
Small fresh Ginger root
Fresh Garlic
Green Onions

Directions:
Mix water ,soy sauce and brown sugar in mixing bowl ( I use large zip lock bags)
Peel and chop garlic and ginger ( use equal amounts )
Dice green onions and remaining ingredients to liquid mixture. Add sesame seeds
Rinse chicken and add to Marinade. Refrigerate 1-2 days (the longer the better)

**I usually double the recipe. If your soy sauce is on the salty side you can add ½-1 C extra water. Also you can add pineapple juice to sweeten it up a bit in place of the extra water.***

Cooking:When you are ready to cook I recommend the BBQ but you can bake it as well. Remove Chicken from Marinade, set sauce a side. If you are BBQ you can glaze the chicken after you turn it the first time. If you choose to bake it pour glaze over chicken in baking dish cover and bake @ 350 until cooked ( 25-30 min)

Optional glaze:
I slowly boil the marinade for a couple of minutes then thicken and use as a glaze after the chicken is cooked. Make sure it comes to a full boil to ensure that it has cooked off the chicken juices.(Yes it is safe if you boil it long enough)

Great with any side dish of your choice. Enjoy!!
