How to Make Hawaiian Steak Marinade Chicken Too

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens.
  3. Remove from heat and let the marinade cool completely to room temperature. This prevents the chicken from cooking prematurely.
  4. Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  5. Pour the cooled marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor. Up to 72 hours is ideal.
  7. Grill, pan-fry, or bake the chicken until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Cooking time will vary depending on your method, but expect about 5-7 minutes per side for grilling or pan-frying.
