Step 1

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large container or gallon-sized freezer baggie. Cut the chicken into chunks and place it into the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Step 2

While the chicken is having its soak, combine 1/4 cup water, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it comes to a simmer.

Step 3

Mix together the cold water and cornstarch with a whisk until there are no lumps, and then whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook until thickened, and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your griddle to medium-low heat. Drain off the marinade from the chicken, and then season with the Maui Wowee. Cook the chicken on the griddle surface, stirring and turning frequently, but letting it cook for a minute between stirrings to caramelize and brown a bit. Be careful not to overcook! It is done when there is no more pink, and when cut into bite-sized pieces this happens pretty quickly.

Step 5

Serve with the homemade teriyaki sauce drizzled over alongside some steamed rice and a vegetable.
