Huli Huli Chicken

I am guessing I saw something about this dish on here early summer, researched it some and learned its from Hawaii....

Well since I was going to HI in the summer I found a place to try it and well they had Chicken and Ribs... So kids inhaled the ribs while we were there so since we came back I have been focused on that for the family.

We use the Hawaii's Famous Huli-Huli BBQ Sauce we get at World Market (2) bottles at a time and have made likely 20 racks since July.  Well yesterday I finally made the chicken version at home.

Spatchcocked the bird, Marinated for 4 hours, and cooked Raised Direct at 400 for ~50 min/ 160 IT flipping roughly every 10 min.  I had already made 4# of Chicken Fajitas and Veggies for dinner so this was post meal- for meals this week.


Cut into one of those breasts today and it was as Juicy and Tasty as one would expect.  Definate Win!!

Oh yeah Fajita Dinner...

Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    I had a rather unsatisfying lunch, and this just rubs it in :)

    If you enjoy it that much, try making the marinade yourself. Definitely kicks it up a few notches. Whenever I try a store-bought marinade, I'm usually disappointed by the weird texture from the thickeners, etc in  it. 

    I don't add fresh pineapple when making the marinade as it can make the chicken mushy. Add it in later,  maybe 2-4 hrs before the bird goes on the egg.
