Another Da Kine Grinds. Huli-Huli Chicken is one of those great "only-in-Hawaii" foods. In 1955, Ernest Morgado of Pacific Poultry barbecued his version of teriyaki chicken for a farmers gathering. The chicken was such a hit, it became a favorite Hawaiian dish. Read more Huli means to turn and that’s the trick to Huli-Huli chicken. Turn and cook, turn and cook. You find this dish everywhere in Hawaii. It really does need to be done over an open fire. This is a marinade recipe, so don’t be fussy about measuring. Jus’ do ‘em to taste. The recipe is enough for about three chickens, split in half. You can use chicken pieces if that’s what you have. Marinate your chicken for at least a half-hour, longer is better. See less
