we Love Hawaiian Chicken!
Huli Huli chicken was created back in the 1950s in Hawaii. Originally this chicken was cooked over a pit, thus inheriting the name Huli Huli or “turn turn” chicken. We first had this at a neighbor’s house in Texas and fell in love! He was from Hawaii and shared the recipe and we’ve been making it every since. This main dish is perfectly juicy and mostly savory, with a little bit of sweet for a favorite Hawaiian dinner.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 1 day 5 minutes COOK TIME: 16 minutes
1 cup brown sugar, packed – light or dark brown sugar ¾ cup ketchup ¾ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce ⅓ cup chicken broth 2 teaspoons ginger – or 3-4 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger 2 teaspoons minced garlic 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs – I prefer boneless skinless chicken thighs because they stay moist when cooked on the grill better than breasts. Without the bone, they are easier to eat. With that said, you can use any cut of chicken. The marinade also tastes great with pork.
