Huli Huli Chicken (Tropical Hawaiian chicken)

Recipe video above. There's just no chance you make this without doing a little hula dance… swish those hips!!! Traditional Hawaiian recipe with in-your-face tropical flavours. Sweet, savoury, very sticky! Best 24 - 48 hr marinade, but you can get away with 3 hrs but baste extra generously.IMPORTANT: Do not use pureed fresh pineapple or fresh, pure pineapple juice from the fridge - it will over tenderise chicken, see Note 2. Use any pineapple juice sold in the aisles, not fridge - can, bottle or vac packed.

📝 Preparation Steps

Marinade:

Mix marinade, set aside 3/4 cup (185 ml) for basting.

Pour the rest over the chicken in a glass or ceramic container (not metal or plastic), coat chicken then marinade ⏱️ 24 - 48 hours.

Cooking:

Brush BBQ grills with oil then preheat to medium high, or heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat.

Drain excess marinade from chicken, place on BBQ/skillet.

Cook the first side for ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes until golden (adjust heat if browning too fast), then flip and cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes.

Baste (dab) generously with reserved marinade, then flip and cook for ⏱️ 1 minute.

Repeat this every minute or so for a total cook time of ⏱️ 10 minutes, or until internal temp in the thickest part registers 75°C/167°F (for thigh) or 65°C / 150°F (for breast).

Transfer chicken to a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for ⏱️ 3 minutes before serving, garnished with green onion if desired.
