Recipe - Bubbas Honolulu Hot Chicks

MARINADE STEP 1
1 cup Soy Sauce
1 cup Pineapple juice (from
pineapple chunk cans below)
One half cup Cooking oil
2 teaspoon Dry mustard
2 tablespoon Brown sugar
4 teaspoon Ground ginger
2 teaspoon Garlic powder
One half teaspoon Fresh ground pepper

SOLID STUFF
2 pound Boneless chicken breasts
2 cn Sliced water chestnuts
2 cn Pineapple chunks (in juice,
not syrup)

First, kudos, praise, and sincere thanks for The McGraths gracious hosting
of today's Boston Area Hotluck at their lovely home. The Blessings of El
Grande be upon you, your children, and your children's children.

(caution may be habitforming):

For marinade step 1: Combine in a saucepan. Stir and simmer 5 minutes.
Cool.

For solid stuff: Cut chicken into small pieces (One half to Three fourths inch cubes)
Assemble Solid Stuff onto toothpicks (1 pineapple chunk, 1 water chestnut
slice, 2 pieces of chicken [1 on each end]). Place in layers in a deep
dish. Pour cooled marinade over and let sit 1 hour at room temp.

THEN: Grill until almost done. A few minutes before removing from grill,
brush each liberally with a fruitbased hab sauce (I use Inner Beauty Real
Hot Sauce). Continue grilling a couple of minutes to "set" sauce.

MARINADE STEP 2: While grilling chicken, simmer remaining marinade above
to reduce somewhat and thicken. Add any remaining pineapple and water
chestnuts to the sauce. Add several tablespoons of the same hot sauce to
the marinade, then add powdered habs to achieve desired heat level to your
taste. Serve skewers and use the reduced marinade as a dipping sauce.

VARIATION 1 Toothpick size skewers are good for parties or as an
appetizer; use bamboo yakitori skewers for dinner size portions,
alternating various colors of bell or hot peppers with the solid stuff
above.

VARIATION 2 For nonCH consumption, omit the hot sauce and hab powder.
This recipe began as a tasty (but infidel) version with just the
MarinadeStep 1.

VARIATION 3 Other fruits, in addition to the pineapple, would probably be
good but I haven't tried that.

Again, to Mr. and Mrs. Jim McGrath, their dog, and all fellow CH'ers who
made this great event happen may El Grande shower you with (his?) (her?)
flavorful benediction and shelter you from the Ring of Fire which cometh.
