Here’s a delicious Hawaiian Bliss Roasted Chicken recipe — sweet, savory, and full of tropical flavors like pineapple, soy, and garlic.
🍍🍗 Hawaiian Bliss Roasted Chicken
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 whole chicken (3–4 lbs / 1.4–1.8 kg)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: pineapple slices, chopped green onions, sesame seeds
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Marinade
- In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2️⃣ Marinate the Chicken
- Place chicken in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
- Pour marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s coated.
- Refrigerate at least 2–4 hours (overnight for best flavor).
3️⃣ Roast the Chicken
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove chicken from marinade and place in a roasting pan. Reserve marinade.
- Roast for 1–1.5 hours, basting with reserved marinade every 20 minutes.
- Check doneness: internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
4️⃣ Optional Glaze & Serve
- During the last 10 minutes, brush chicken with a little extra honey or reserved marinade for a sticky glaze.
- Garnish with pineapple slices, chopped green onions, or sesame seeds.
- Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
🔥 Tips & Variations
- Crispier skin: Pat the chicken dry before roasting and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Spicy twist: Add ½ tsp chili flakes or sriracha to the marinade.
- Sweet & savory glaze: Reduce leftover marinade in a saucepan for 5 minutes to make a thick glaze.
- Make ahead: Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
