My friends used to live in Hawaii and made this juicy chicken that is full of flavor. It's so easy to make! I serve it over over rice and add my favorite vegetable as a side.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Season chicken with salt on top of and underneath the skin. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
Step 3
Pulse garlic and ginger in a food processor until combined. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken broth, pineapple juice, and rice vinegar; process until well combined. Strain marinade into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove all liquid. Discard pulp.
Step 4
Blot chicken with paper towels to remove excess salt and moisture. Place skin-side down on the prepared broiler pan.
Step 5
Cook under the preheated broiler, turning every 5 minutes, until raw surface have cooked, about 20 minutes. Continue to cook, turning and basting with the marinade every 5 minutes until well browned, another 20 minutes. Cover with foil and cook for 10 more minutes.
