Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Lime Coconut Rice

Hawaiin Grilled Chicken with Lime Coconut Rice
3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs (I have only ever used chicken breasts)
2 cups soy sauce  (low sodium, the best is Aloha Shoyu)
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
1/4 cup of a white onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk

Trim chicken thighs of any visible fat and bone fragments. Mix all ingredients (minus the chicken) in a large bowl. Add chicken and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight to make sure the flavor gets infused.

Grill chicken at a low heat so that the marinade does not burn for 5-7 minutes per side or until done.

Tip: This recipe fed 4 adults and 3 kids with a few leftovers. I buy the thighs at Costco. They come in a six pack. For this recipe use 3 packages or double the recipe if you want to use all six packages.

Lime Coconut Rice:

1 1/2 cups of Thai Jasmine Rice
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
1 3/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
grated peel of one lime

In 3 quart saucepan, bring rice, milk, water and salt to a boil over medium high heat. Stir, reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer the rice, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the lime peel and serve immediately.

 We have made this chicken a couple times at the lake house and it has been a big hit!  I have sliced the onions that I used in the marinade and had Kev grill them and they turn out so yummy too.
