Huli Huli Chicken on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Traditionally, Huli Huli chicken is marinaded, then roasted over a wood fire. It’s turned twice and basted. Huli means ‘turn’, so hence the name!

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts bone-in, skin-on split, or 8-10 smaller pieces, like thighs
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • cup sherry or chicken broth
  • 2 ½ teaspoons fresh ginger minced (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic minced

Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a large resealable container.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Add all except for 1/2 cup of the sauce to the chicken. Cover and toss to coat. Refrigerate the chicken and reserved sauce overnight.
  • Fire up your Big Easy. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess.
  • Spray your Big Easy basket and the Bunk Bed basket with non-stick spray.
  • Add the chicken to the baskets and cook for 1 hour.
  • Baste the chicken with half of the reserved marinade and flip gently. I use very long tongs to carefully flip the chicken. You might find it easier (and safer) to do by first removing the basket from the Big Easy. Then either reach in from the sides to flip the chicken or remove the Bunk Bed basket with heat proof gloves and then flip the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken for 15 more minutes. At this point the chicken should be around 160 F. Brush with the remaining marinade and flip the chicken one more time.
  • Return the chicken to the Big Easy and continue cooking until the chicken reached 165 F as measured in several places.
  • Remove the chicken from the baskets and let rest 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

You'll need a Bunk Bed basket to cook all 4 chicken breasts at once.
