Recipe Introduction
In Hawaiian huli huli means to turn over and over. This version of the island favorite varies from the traditional, adding a little of this here and that there, amalgamating flavors to create this ono Hawaiian chicken.
List of Ingredients
2 fryers (2-3lbs. each)
3/4 cup dark shoyu (soy sauce)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon asian chile paste or sambal oelek
Lots of freshly ground black pepper to taste
Hawaiian sea salt or other salt to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Recipe
Split each chicken down the backbone, but leave attached at breast. Remove neck bone. Mix together shoyu, lime juice, honey, brown sugar, oil, garlic, ketchup, gingerroot, chile paste, salt and pepper and sesame oil if using. Marinate split chickens for 20 minutes to 4 hours. If you are short on time it is not absolutely necessary to marinate chicken. Secure chickens on rotisserie and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, 20 minutes basting often.
If you don't have a rotisserie, grill the chicken on barbecue rack over medium coals, turning often for about 45 minutes. Baste frequently.
If you'd prefer, you can roast the chicken in 325F oven, basting often, for 1 1/2 hours.
For a truly Hawaiian meal, serve with sticky rice (fancy short grain) and macaroni salad. Serves 4 - 6
