Perfect for cookouts, this is the BEST Grilled Huli Huli Chicken. Chicken thighs marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce then grilled until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Combine all of the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water in a bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade. Add the remaining marinade to a large ziplock bag. Add in the chicken and marinade for 30 minutes, up to 3-4 hours.
When you are ready to cook the chicken preheat the grill. Spray the grill with nonstick cooking spray. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Add the reserved marinade to a sauce pan and bring that to simmer. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and water. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce whisking constantly. Simmer for an additional minute or until the sauce has thickened.
Brush the thickened sauce onto the cooked chicken and serve any leftover sauce on the side.
Serve immediately with grilled pineapple and fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
