Ingredients

  • 6-8 Chicken Legs
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced or crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced or crushed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 4 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons chicken stock as needed

Instructions

  • In a bowl, you will want to add your ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. Mix well and slowly add in the chicken stock. You want it to thin up the marinade a bit to make it easier to cover the chicken.
  • In a container or bag add your chicken legs and pour 1/2 of the marinade sauce all over the chicken. Cover and let marinate at least 2 hours to overnight.
  • You will store the other 1/2 of the marinade in another container as you will use that to baste the chicken as it cooks.
  • Once the chicken is marinated, preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill or another grill to high heat. When it is hot toss your chicken legs on, leaving space between each.
  • Cook 4-6 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees internal temperature.
  • Remove the Huli Huli chicken from the grill, let rest 5 minutes then serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Chicken - You can use other cuts of chicken, you will just need to adjust the cook time to the chicken as needed.
Temperature of Chicken - The internal temperature needs to read 165 degrees F for it to be fully cooked.
