Description
A delicious and flavorful dish perfect for summer grilling, featuring marinated chicken, fresh slaw, and the choice of serving on a bun or grilled pineapple slices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 hamburger buns or grilled pineapple slices
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and is nicely charred.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the slaw in a large bowl by mixing the shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pour this over the slaw and toss to combine.
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- To assemble the stacks, place a piece of grilled chicken on a bun or grilled pineapple slice, top with the prepared slaw, and serve immediately.
Notes
Letting the chicken rest after grilling makes it juicier. Use fresh ingredients for better flavor.
