A delightful Hawaiian-inspired appetizer featuring marinated and grilled chicken bites, perfect for any gathering.
Combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, rum, wasabi powder, juice of the orange, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use a whisk to ensure all ingredients are well combined for a uniform marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Turn the chicken halfway through marinating to ensure even flavor absorption.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving plate, cut into bite-sized pieces, and insert wooden picks for easy serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added color and flavor.
