Huli Huli Chicken originated in Hawaii in 1955 when Ernest Morgado roasted a big batch of chicken for a farmer’s group. It was marinated in his unique version of teriyaki sauce and cooked over an open charcoal pit – “huli” means turn in Hawaiian, a reference to the special rotating grills used to cook this special style of rotisserie chicken. It was such a huge hit, it became a signature dish all over Hawaii. This is an easy version of Huli Huli Chicken made with a few ingredients from Trader Joe’s, Island Soyaki already contains most of the ingredients needed for huli huli sauce, I just added little bit of ketchup and honey – grill the chicken on a charcoal bbq for the best flavor.
These are so convenient and can be found in the freezer section at Trader Joe’s
Serve with Trader Joe’s Calrose Rice & Hawaiian Mac Salad (recipe here) For my plate lunch salads, I usually make a simple Sweet & Sour Dressing, whisk together ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil, 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar, 1½ Tablespoons Granulated Sugar, ¼ Teaspoon Fine Sea Salt, ⅛ Ground Black Pepper

I haven’t tried this yet, but can I just say that I LOVE that you put the amounts into the description/instructions as well! I hate when recipes say the amt in the ingredients list, then don’t mention the amount in the instructions, so you have to look back and forth, back and forth! THANK YOU for making it much easier to follow!

I’m glad someone appreciates it! I do that simply because that’s how I’d like to read a recipe 🙂
