Authentic Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 5 pounds skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

1. In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Add chicken thighs and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
2. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Ensure the grill grate is lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
3. Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade, and discard any remaining marinade.
4. Grill the chicken thighs on the preheated grill for approximately 15 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
