Grilled Huli Huli chicken is a tropical-inspired grilled dish that is perfect with a cold beer. This is a perfect weekend dinner for when the sun is shining.
A marinade is made with sweet and savory flavors, then poured over the chicken for a few hours to overnight. Part of the marinade is used as a basting sauce, for even more flavor.
Originally from the Islands of Hawaii, this grilled chicken is especially good if grilled over mesquite wood. Try serving this with sticky rice and grilled pineapple.
