Heat Level

Chile

Chile Oil/Chile Paste

Serves

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken

For the huli sauce:
3/4 cup dark soy sauce (shoyu)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar (Hawaiian cane preferred)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste
Coarse kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Methods/steps

Split the chicken down the backbone, removing backbone but leaving the halves attached at the breast.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, ginger, chile paste, salt and pepper.

Place the chicken in a large zippered storage bag and marinate, refrigerated, at least 4 hours.

Roast the chicken over medium-high direct heat, turning and marinating often, for about 1 hour or to an internal thigh temperature of 175° F.

Additional Tips

In Hawaiian, huli-huli means to turn over and over. This version of the roadside favorite uses a homemadehuli-style sauce instead of the patented commercial version. This recipe requires advance preparation. (Hulisauce may also be used as a glaze for hamburgers and fish.)
