Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

I haven't eaten red meat for about 20 years now...with the exception of bacon. I'm not super fussy about it, a bit of red meat in dishes is fine, but I could not imagine sitting down to a steak or hunk of lamb. As a result I am always on the look out for new chicken and seafood recipes.
I'm also about to start a new job which I know will be be a huge time commitment. I'm determined not to resort to ready made, preservative filled meals for my family though. This week I got busy and made 5 meals to freeze one night.
When I found this recipe I figured I could make it for dinner and made another lot to go in the freezer to cook another night.
The original recipe was a bit different, it had a cup of water in it and the quantise were a bit different. My modifications worked well! It was quite salty (which I like). A reduced salt soy source might be a better idea.
The quantities below were plenty for two meals of 6 chicken thighs (12 thighs in total).

Not the best photo but the taste was great!

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken


Ingredients
  • 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup soy sauce 
  • 1  cup brown sugar
  • 1 bunch of green spring onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup of a white onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk
Instructions
  1. Trim chicken thighs of any visible fat. Mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, onions, garlic, sesame oil, and coconut milk in a large bowl. Marinade chicken for at least 8 hours or overnight to make sure the flavor gets infused.
  2. Grill chicken at a low heat so that the marinade does not burn for 5-7 minutes per side or until done.
