Huli Huli Real Close To The Real Deal

[Rich Dahl]

Barb and I are big fans of Huli Huli chicken, when we used to go to Maui a lot we would look for the roadside stands.
But the last few times we went which was about 15 years ago the stands were not to be seen going from the airport to Napili Bay.
So we started making it at home.
We have 4 or 5 recipes but this new one we found that Mark Foreman posted in the Greg in Utah thread on his Huli Huli cook, that was in the Hawaii Magazine is as close as I can remember it being at the roadside stands.
This one will be our new go to Huli Huli.

Sorry the pictures aren't real good did the photos as an after thought.

Yum! Looks great!
When I lived in the big island there was a guy that had a set up that could spin 300 chickens at a time!

looked like this

Rich & Barb - Good to hear you liked the recipe.

I stumbled into it quite awhile ago. We make Huli Huli quite often and this is our go to recipe.

Yes, even on the Performer, we Huli!

There’s a whole lot of Huli going on

Looking good, Rich!

We lived in Hawaii when I was a kid and I still remember those stands. After that, my father spent years trying to get his own recipe right. I think I'll try that recipe from Hawaii Magazine just to compare (Dad's is pretty close). And I'll be looking forward to being at Mom and Dad's in two weeks when I know he'll be grilling the huli huli.

Rich,
I love this cook! Did you scale down the recipe since you were only cooking the four thighs?

Michael. I made the full recipe, It was enough for quite a bit more chicken. Note that the recipe doesn't say how much to reserve for basting I put aside about 1/2 cup for that from the total of a little over 2 cups of marinade.
