Fresh ginger, chili paste, and pineapple are combined in a simple marinade for these tender chicken bites. Huli Huli Chicken is typically slow-cooked using a rotisserie or barbecue grill. I’ve adapted the more traditional recipe for this stovetop method because if you know me at all, you know that simple stir-fry and skillet recipes are my thing.
The result is bite-size pieces of chicken with an irresistible sticky sauce. The chicken cooks in just a couple of minutes. Then the glaze ingredients are simmered until thickened to create a sweet and tangy sauce that coats each piece of chicken.
