Recipes from Oceania and the Philippines :: Oceania and Filipino Appetizers and Snacks

1/2 c. low sodium soy sauce
1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. canola (or other vegetable) oil
1/4 c. dark rum
1 Tbsp. wasabi powder
Juice of 1 orange
1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
1 1/2 lb. (one and a half lbs. ) skinless, boneless, cubed chicken
    thighs or breasts

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 charcoal 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 mins. on each side.

Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked in the center. Remove the "pupu chicken" to a serving plate and insert wooden picks in each of the cubes. Serve immediately as an appetizer.

Yields 4 to 6 servings.
