How to Make the Best Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken Stack at HomeEpsilon Community HubIntroduction
This Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken Stack delivers juicy chicken thighs marinated in sweet and tangy sauce, stacked over sticky rice, and topped with caramelized pineapple for the perfect tropical bite.
Whisk up soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. You wanna get that marinade sweet and savory all mixed good.
Put chicken in a bag or dish and pour marinade over it. Make sure every bit is coated. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Overnight’s even better if you got time.
Get your pressure cooker ready and make sure it’s clean. When ready, you’ll use it to create that treasure of tenderness.
Remove chicken from marinade but keep the sauce. Place chicken in the pressure cooker. Pour a little of the leftover marinade over chicken for extra flavor.
Seal the lid and set your cooker. Let pressure build up, then cook on high for 8 minutes. That pressure cooker steam cues will tell ya when it’s done.
Do a slow release for 10 minutes to keep chicken juicy. Then finish with quick release to let the rest of the steam out.
While chicken is resting, quickly grill or caramelize your pineapple slices on the stove or grill pan for 2–3 minutes a side.
Stack your plate with a scoop of sticky rice, chicken thigh, and pineapple slice. Repeat if you want a taller stack. Drizzle with more marinade as a sauce and dig in.
Notes
Use store-bought pre-cooked rice to save time. Store leftovers in airtight containers up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
