Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
12 chicken drumsticks or thighs or a combination* (about 3 pounds)

Steps:

  • For marinade, in a large saucepan, combine pineapple juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until the marinade mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature. Place chicken pieces in a plastic bag set into a deep bowl or shallow dish. Pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and turn to coat the chicken well. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally. Drain the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. In a covered grill, arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Test for medium** heat above the drip pan. Arrange the chicken on a rack over the drip pan (not directly over coals). Close grill hood; grill for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade for the first 30 minutes.

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.
