Hawaiian Huli Huli chicken with grilled pineapple, perfect for a summer BBQ meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Marinade

01 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
02 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
03 - 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
04 - 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
05 - 1/4 cup soy sauce
06 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice
07 - 1 cup teriyaki sauce

→ Chicken and Pineapple

08 - 1 ripe pineapple, cut into circles
09 - 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

→ Garnish

10 - Chopped green onions
11 - Toasted sesame seeds

# Directions:

01 - Combine teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl. Stir until well blended.
02 - Place chicken pieces in a dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
03 - Set your grill to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat.
04 - Remove chicken from the marinade and reserve the liquid for basting. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, brushing with reserved marinade occasionally, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
05 - Place pineapple rings on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until slightly charred and fragrant.
06 - Layer grilled pineapple on top of the grilled chicken. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Discard any leftover marinade that came into contact with raw chicken.

# Notes:

01 - Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor. Allow chicken to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
