Ready for ultra juicy, delicious chicken? This succulent Hawaiian chicken recipe comes together fast with easy ingredients–freezer and grill friendly!
Aloha! This delicious Hawaiian chicken literally comes together in just minutes with just a few easy ingredients. Better yet, it is freezer AND grill friendly. What more do you need for a perfectly effortless summertime meal?
To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just split the marinade & chicken into multiple bags, then throw it right into the freezer–no cooking required! Making it ahead of time is not necessary, though, as it is equally delicious just marinated at room temperature
You can use any type of chicken but my family much prefers the boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are a darker, juicier meat and also tend to be cheaper than the boneless skinless breasts.

This has easily become my family’s favorite way to have chicken!! Both my husband and girls have not been huge fans of grilled chicken because it can get dry but this is so moist and tasty! Before we barely finish 2 chicken breasts for 2 adults, a 7 and 3 year old but now we finish 2 and everyone is asking for more!!! Thank you!!
