Hawaiian Chicken

Occasion
Family Meal

Partakers
Melanie, Micah, Malaree, and me.


On The Grill
Boneless Chicken Breasts-3

Preparation
We had intended to eat this meal the night before, but I wound up buying a truck and picking it up.  So our original Monday night meal got delayed until Tuesday. 
Marinade--Lawry's Hawaiian marinade.  Probably the best pre-made marinade that Lawry's does.  Has some citrus flavor in it.

Since I got delayed, the chicken actually marinated a full 24 hours.  This made a HUGE difference in the amount of flavor in the chicken.  I believe they are actually 30 minute marinades, so as you know it was much more flavorful.

Grilling
I didn't use the sear burner for the chicken.  I cooked on medium to high heat.  I flip my chicken about every 4 minutes or so.  These chicken breasts were bigger than what I normally get, so cooking time was a bit longer.

Results
The chicken turned out good.  I believe we had a type of rice pilaf and some green beans for the sides.  It made for a very healthy meal that was fairly quick.   


Improvement
The chicken started to get a little charred from the marinade.  I probably should have dropped the temperature down on the grill a bit.  I'll have to remember that for next time.
