Chicken Pupus (Hawaiian Appetizer)

Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1 tablespoon wasabi powder
• Juice of 1 orange
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless, cubed chicken thighs or breasts

Method

1. Whisk together all ingredients, except the chicken, in a mixing bowl. Place the chicken thighs in the marinade and marinate for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. After 2 hours, stir the marinade.
2. Heat the grill until the coals are gray to white. Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain or shake off the excess marinade. Place on a lightly oiled grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
3. Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked in the center. Remove the "pupu chicken" to a serving plate and insert wooden picks in each of the cubes.
4. Serve immediately as an appetizer.

Yields 4 to 6 servings.
