Instructions
Prepare your BBQ chicken marinade the day before you plan to grill. Sometimes I like to toss in a couple drops of Sriracha sauce into the marinade for a spicier flavor.
Mix the marinade ingredients well and place into a Ziploc bag or baking pan covered in plastic wrap. Marinate chicken pieces for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
When cooking BBQ chicken, I like to use my smoker and today I'm using mesquite chips, which is called kiawe in Hawaii. Grill this slowly for about 40 minutes, turning and basting with the sauce as needed.
