Hawaiian Barbecue Baked Chicken Huli Huli Recipes

HULI HULI CHICKEN (GRILLED OR BAKED) (+VIDEO!)

Steps:

• Mix the Spice Mix seasonings together in a medium bowl. Remove one tablespoon Spice Mix and add to a large bowl. Reserve remaining spices for your Spice Rub later.
• Add all Huli Huli Sauce ingredients to the 1 tablespoon spice mix. Whisk to combine. Remove 1/2 cup of this Sauce and add to a large freezer bag along with 1/3 cup olive oil.
• Add chicken to freezer bag, remove excess air, seal and turn to coat. Marinate 4 hours up to overnight. Refrigerate remaining sauce separately and reserved spices in an airtight container.
• When ready to grill, remove chicken and dab off excess marinade and place on a baking sheet. Discard marinade. Mix reserved spices with 2 tablespoons olive oil and rub evenly over both sides of chicken. Let sit 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove 1/4 cup Huli Huli Sauce to baste chicken while grilling. Simmer the remaining sauce for approximately 10 minutes or until reduced and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. It will thicken more upon standing.
• Grease and heat grill to medium heat. Add chicken, cover, and cook 6-8 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and an inside thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Baste chicken with reserved 1/4 cup Sauce the last 5 minutes.
• Slather cooked chicken with Huli Huli Glaze and garnish with green onions if desired. Serve with remaining sauce.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken (you will need to work in batches), and sear 2-3 minutes per side.
• Add chicken to a foil lined, greased 9x13 pan (for easy cleanup), COVER with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil cover, baste with 1/4 cup reserved marinade and continue to cook, uncovered an additional 15-20 minutes OR until an inside thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the chicken.
• Slather cooked chicken with Huli Huli Glaze and garnish with green onions if desired. Serve with remaining sauce.

HAWAIIAN BARBECUE BAKED CHICKEN (HULI-HULI)

Steps:

• Whisk together all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl.
• Place chicken in a large ziploc bag. Pour the remaining marinade over chicken and massage to make sure marinade is coating all of the chicken pieces. Place chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Turn bag over at least once while marinating to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange chicken on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, skin side up. Pour the marinade through a strainer into a small saucepan and place on the stove at medium heat. While the chicken is cooking, bring the marinade to a low boil and cook for at least 5 minutes, whisking often. Turn heat down to medium-low and continue cooking; whisking occasionally until sauce is reduced and thickened. It will continue to thicken as it sits.
• Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes, or until juices are clear and chicken is no longer pink near the bone.
• Turn chicken pieces over and baste with the cooked sauce about halfway through cooking time.
• Remove the pan from the oven and turn on the broiler. Flip chicken over so the skin side is up and baste liberally with the cooked marinade. Place under the broiler for 5-7 minutes until skin is browned. Watch closely so that it doesn't burn.
• Remove from the oven and brush chicken pieces with the remaining sauce.
• Garnish with sliced green onions and pineapple chunks, if desired.

HULI HULI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, sherry, ginger, garlic, green onions, and dry mustard in a large resealable plastic bag, stirring the marinade until brown sugar has dissolved. Place chicken pieces into the bag, squeeze out air, seal bag, and lomi (massage) bag to coat chicken with marinade. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight.
• Move an oven rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from marinade and arrange chicken, skin sides up, on a broiler pan.
• Bake chicken in preheated oven until browned on both sides and the juices run clear, turning every 10 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes. Baste with remaining marinade after each turning. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece of chicken, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
