Polynesian Honey Pineapple Chicken


I have submitted this recipe as it was originally written however i prepare it slightly different. The original recipe calls for the marinade that the chicken was in to be used as the basting sauce but i am not comfortable with that. I double the marinade & after it has cooled i use 3/4 of the sauce to marinate the meat & reserve 1/4 of the marinade to use as the basting sauce while cooking. This marinade also works on pork. Prep times does not include marinating.

Steps


For marinade , in sauce pan combine pineapple juice , honey , worcestershire sauce , garlic , ginger& salt.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat.
Simmer uncovered , stirring occasionally , about 15 minutes or until marinade mixture is reduced 1 / 4.
Cool to room temperature.
Place chicken pieces in a plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour in marinade& marinate chicken at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
Drain chicken pieces , reserving marinade.
Cook chicken on covered medium heat grill for 40 to 45 minutes or until chicken is tender& no longer pink , brushing occasionally with reserved marinade for the first 30 minutes.
