I saw this on Pinterest of course. When I went to retrieve the recipe, my original pin didn't link to a recipe. After some searching, I found the recipe to make this Hawaiian Grilled Chicken. Here's the recipe:

In order to begin to understand this post, you first need to know that I really, REALLY wanted to be a vegetarian when I was little. I wanted to be a veg simply because I couldn't/can't stand the thought of knowing where meat came from. My mom wouldn't allow me to be a vegetarian because I "needed my protein." So, I would eat filet and chicken. I never could stand the sight of raw meat. From the age of ten, I was responsible for cooking dinner one night a week. Gradually, I had to cook raw meat! I acted as if it should be a crime. One thing that never changed from my childhood state of mind- I don't eat the edges of my meat because when I was little I thought it was the skin of the animal. Now I know it is not true, but it is a habit. Good thing my husband is a carnivore! By the time I was in college, I obviously needed to even prep raw meat. Now I can even trim fat off of meat without gagging.
When grocery shopping, I made a HUGE mistake. I didn't buy boneless and skinless chicken. I had to buy chicken thighs for this recipe which I rarely cook with. And this time, I bought it with skin on and the bone in. As soon as I realized what I had done, I called on my husband Pat. I felt nauseous and wanted to toss the 5 pounds of meat. Pat told me I would be fine and it seemed silly to toss the meat (**Note: He didn't offer to take the skin off for me.) Bravely, I peeled of the skin, but firmly believe I have never done anything so disgusting. I did all of this without touching the meat. I let the chicken marinade overnight.
This chicken had nice flavor. I think I would like it even more if I diced up chicken breast instead of using chicken thighs. This is a recipe I would make again.
