Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial a perfectly heated oven will ensure that your Hawaiian Chicken cooks evenly achieving that delightful balance between a juicy interior and a perfectly caramelized exterior.

Step 2: Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl combine soy sauce pineapple juice brown sugar and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves completely. This marinade is the heart of your Hawaiian Chicken infusing it with a sweet and savory profile that transports your taste buds to the islands.

Step 3: Marinate the Chicken

Place your chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor. The longer it marinates the more flavorful your Hawaiian Chicken will become!

Step 4: Chop the Vegetables

While your chicken marinates get creative with colorful vegetables! Chop bell peppers red onions and snap peas into bite-sized pieces. The vibrant colors will not only make the dish visually appealing but also add delightful crunch and freshness to your Hawaiian Chicken.

Step 5: Assemble on the Sheet Pan

After marinating arrange the chicken pieces on a prepared sheet pan. To elevate the dish scatter your chopped vegetables around the chicken like a vibrant tropical scene. This will not only enhance the flavor but also create a beautiful presentation.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and become beautifully caramelized. Every moment spent waiting will build anticipation for that first bite of succulent Hawaiian Chicken.

Step 7: Baste for Extra Flavor

Halfway through baking use a spoon or brush to baste the chicken with the pan juices. This extra step will lock in moisture and amplify the flavors leaving you with mouthwatering Hawaiian Chicken that’s juicy and bursting with tropical goodness.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Once fully cooked remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. For a finishing touch sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges over the top. Serve your stunning Hawaiian Chicken alongside rice or a simple salad for a complete tropical dinner experience!
