Instructions

  • Whisk together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • Place the chicken in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  • Place marinated chicken inside the pressure cooker. Lock the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  • Perform a quick release to let out the steam, and check that the chicken is tender.
  • If desired, preheat the grill and grill the chicken 6-8 minutes on each side for a charred finish.
  • Let the chicken rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Huli Huli marinade contains a lot of sugar which can leave it prone to burning quickly on the grill. Be sure to watch your heat and turn it down if you see the outside of your chicken getting charred too quickly. You can move your chicken to indirect heat for a bit to cook through if needed, and then move back over the flame to get crispy at the end of cooking.
