Polynesian Honey-Pineapple Chicken Dinner

A sweet glaze livens up extra-tender chicken, making a mouth-watering dish perfect for cookouts. Try it with grilled fresh pineapple on the side.

Recipe from

Servings: 6 to 8

Prep Time: 40 mins

ingredients

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
12 chicken drumsticks or thighs or a combination* (about 3 pounds)

directions

For marinade, in a large saucepan, combine pineapple juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until the marinade mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature.

Place chicken pieces in a plastic bag set into a deep bowl or shallow dish. Pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and turn to coat the chicken well. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Drain the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. In a covered grill, arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Test for medium** heat above the drip pan. Arrange the chicken on a rack over the drip pan (not directly over coals).

Close grill hood; grill for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade for the first 30 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Note

* You can use other meaty chicken pieces, instead of the chicken drumsticks or chicken thighs.

Note

** To test for medium heat, you should be able to hold your hand over the drip pan at food height for 4 seconds before you have to pull away.
