Chicken Pupus
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
Servings: 4 to 6
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. Preheat 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. Continue grilling until
the chicken is cooked in the center.
Remove the "pupu chicken" to a serving plate and insert toothpicks in
each of the cubes.
Serve immediately as an appetizer.
Notes: Pupu (or puu puu) is a Hawaiian hors d'oeuvre. A pupu platter
often includes an international smorgasbord of Japanese, Korean, Thai,
Hawaiian and Polynesian delicacies.
*Wasabi is similar to horseradish plant:
