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.
Step 1: Mince onion.
Step 2: Mince or crush garlic in garlic press.
Step 3: Whisk together olive oil, Teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, pepper, onions, and garlic, then divide into 2 1-gallon freezer bags. (If freezing, be sure to label bags ahead of time.)
Step 4: Divide chicken into two bags of marinade; let marinate for at least 30 minutes or longer, or press out air from bag and freeze.
Step 5: Thaw if frozen. Grill 6-8 minutes per side, basting with additional marinade, if desired.

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!!
What would you think about scattering slivered almonds over the finished product?
This looks so good! I made Hawaiian Chicken in the crock pot last week and it was good but this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! I will definitely be trying this! http://www.kkstastefulcreations.com
Thank you - this was wonderful!! Made this on Sunday, slightly modified - not much of a griller. I used a crockpot but it was so easy! I added low sodium chicken broth and it came out fantastic -it made yummy sauce for rice & veggies. Making this one again soon. Thanks!
Hi! I want to make these in a crockpot also. How long did you have them in for?
Hi! I threw it all in the crockpot before we went to church,
So it would be done when we got home. About 3-4 hours, but it
was either room temp stuff or just cold out of fridge not frozen.
I just eyeballed it so cant give specific amount of broth.
Hope it works for you too!
Thanks!!
What a yummy and quick recipe! Perfect for those on the go with little time for meal prep. Thanks for sharing.
I grilled something similar the other day and made it into a sandwich - best thing ever!
this sounds so yummy and I love how easy it is! My husband doesn't like pineapple but I might make it anyways and just not tell him :)
