Huli Huli Chicken

Since we decided to leave our grill outside, it is currently decorated with snow. Yes, we could unbury it but then we would have to spend some time outside grilling. I'm not volunteering and I know my husband will not then it leaves the oven. I do have an inside grill pan but it does smoke a lot. The chicken did turn out pretty tender. It does have a nice mild flavor. I thought it would be similar to a teriyaki sauce but this version didn't remind me of teriyaki. We will have to try making this on the grill when we find our grill again.

Huli Huli Chicken
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
