Ingredients

  • 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)

Preparation

Step 1

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.
