How To Make polynesian grilled chicken
-
Step 1If using chicken for kabobs, cut chicken into 1 inch chunks. Or leave whole, or cut into whatever size you plan on cooking the chicken as.
-
Step 2Combine ingredients and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
-
Step 3Grill chicken. If kabobs, grill 16-18 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. You can brush with marinade while grilling up to the last 5 minutes of grilling, but not during the last 5 minutes, to ensure all the raw chicken germs are cooked. This is good as kabobs with pineapple, red bell pepper, and onion, or delicious as grilled chicken breast sliced and added to pasta, or anything you want tasty chicken in, really. So tasty!

Step 4Note: now that soy sauce is off my kid’s diet, I’m curious to try replacing the soy sauce with Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Company multipurpose Umami seasoning blend. I did the calculations, and it’s about a 1:1 ratio between soy sauce & that seasoning to get the same amount of salt. The TJ’s seasoning blend does have red & black pepper, and ground mustard seed already in it, so I wouldn’t add more if using their seasoning blend in place of the soy sauce. It would take about 4 Tbsp. of the seasoning blend (almost a whole bottle) to replace the soy sauce in this recipe. I would add olive oil, to give liquid to the marinade. I’ll update if I try it.
