Baked Huli Huli Chicken

Get on your grass skirt and your lei because it’s time for Huli Huli Chicken! This is a one pan dinner full of flavor.

I’m really on the one pan wonder train this week! Cooking can’t get any easier! I used to think that going through the drive thru was such a easy way to get dinner on those busy nights but this recipe has proved me wrong!

Don’t get me wrong, some nights it’s great to roll up to McDonalds and grab a tasty Double Cheeseburger and fries, but me and my husband have come to the conclusion that nothing compares to home cooking! Especially when you throw everything in one pan and the magic happens in the oven!

Your family will be begging for this every week! Yes, it’s that good! The chicken is so tender and juicy and then you pair it with the pineapple, fireworks will go off! Yum!!!

6. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the chicken. Brush the reserved marinade on top of the pineapple rings and chicken thighs.
