Your grilling game NEEDS these Huli Huli chicken pineapple skewers. Chicken, pineapple, and a flavor-packed marinade is all you need to bring this to life.

 

Huli Huli is a Hawaiian grilled chicken that is made with a flavorful marinade. Huli Huli means "to turn", as this chicken is turned multiple times on the grill so that the sauce caramelizes as it cooks. These skewers and marinade follow the same approach, adding pineapple for additional sweetness that compliments the chicken deliciously. Lee Kum Kee sauces like Hoisin Sauce, Oyster Sauce, and Premium Soy Sauce are all key to making the marinade tasty.

How to make it

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Seasoned Rice Vinegar, Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil, Lee Kum Kee Minced Ginger, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, and smoked paprika. Set aside 1/4 cup of the sauce for basting.
  2. Place chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour remaining sauce over the chicken, toss to coat, and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
  3. Thread marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating for even spacing and flavor.
  4. Preheat the grill to high heat (around 450°F). Grill skewers, turning every minute for 8–10 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temp of 175°F. In the final 1–2 minutes, brush with reserved sauce and allow to caramelize. 

  5. Let skewers rest for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
