I wanted a sauce for our kalua pork dinner that wasn't as spicy as the sweet and spicy chili sauce I usually make because as much as I love them, spicy foods have been doing a number on my esophagus recently! I decided to use the Huli Huli Chicken marinade recipe I have here on the blog as the base because it is sooooooooo delicious. I switched out the chicken broth for some pineapple juice, cooked it down to reduce a little and voila! The best Hawaiian BBQ sauce to use on pork, chicken, or whatever your heart desires. This is a perfect mix of savory sweet goodness and easy to whip up in just a few minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Try it the next time you grill chicken or even just over your rice! (It goes perfectly with this 3-ingredient slow cooker Kalua Pork!)
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup pineapple juice (Use from a can of pineapple in a pinch!)
1/2 tsp chicken bullion powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1-1/2 tsp minced garlic
In a medium saucepan, stir all ingredients together, bring to a light boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring frequently.
Let cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle over your meat!
