Puu Puu Chicken w/ Maui Onions




Source of Recipe


From Global Grilling






Recipe Introduction


For centuries,people all over the world have been cooking over a fire. I can imagine how happy our decendants were when fire was tamed for the first barbeque. The enjoyment of grilled meats had evolved over time, shaped by culture, climate,vegetation and access to land and sea. these different grilling techniques are as varied as the cuisines.

In Hawaii and other islands of the Pacific, pits were dug into the earth and lined with rocks, forming an imu. The fire was made with banana leaves and wood, and pork and fish were seasoned and slowly barbecued. Even today, when there is a special occasion, it is celebrated with a grilling feast known as a "Luau" and most of the time it was along one of it's beaches.

Puu Puu originated as a polynesian equivalent of hors d'oeuvre, and has since evolved to include the flavors of Asia, Hawaii, and Japan. The mouth watering flavor of sweet Maui onions compliment the platter. Shrimp,Pork, or scallops can also be used with the marinade.
