I got this grilled chicken recipe from a friend while living in Hawaii. It sizzles with the flavors of brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce. <i>Huli</i> means "turn" in Hawaiian. This sweet and savory glaze is fantastic on pork chops, too. —Sharon Boling, San Diego, California

Simple but full of flavor, very tasty and easy to make  making my family and friends wanting more and more of it . It's going to be my never missed dish in every occasion or celebration I have 👍👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋😋

Mouthwatering! I substituted boneless, skinless chicken for bone-in. It is less likely to dry out during grilling. I also grilled rings of fresh pineapple, basting with butter and brown sugar. Served with coconut rice. You'll want leftovers!

Our young children begged for seconds. Yeah, a HUGE win! We will save and print this recipe. Thank you!!! We ran out of propane, so we baked the chicken at 375, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes and basted it the last five minutes. Thank you!!!!

This was better than expected and I was expecting something good!  The only thing I did different was used 1/2 sherry and 1/2 chicken broth, might use all sherry next time!  WHEN I make this again I think I will also use a little less soy sauce,  I found it more salty than sweet!

This recipe is amazing! We changed it slightly by replacing the marinating step with putting it in a crockpot on low for 8 hours.  Then we threw the chicken on a hot grille for just a couple of minutes per side. The chicken fell right off of the bone and because the chicken cooked in the marinade, we were able to use it over rice which was heavenly. Thanks for the recipe.

Tasted great. Cooked as recipe stated with exact quantities. Thighs were tender and a big hit with the family. Word of warning if cooking on a bbq. Be prepared for a lot of cleaning. I soaked grills overnight and the used oven cleaner. Our gerni high pressure cleaner still could not remove the vharred marinate. The brown sugar hardens like cement and i ended up using a hammer and screwdriver to try and get it to let go. Next time i will use a disposable foil grill on top of the bbq burners.

I use sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce instead of ketchup to give it a more sweet and smokey flavor, but other than that I keep it the same. Always gets high praise from freinds and family at cookouts!

Fantastic flavorful chicken!  Hubby and I both loved it. I halved the marinade and made 4 boneless breasts.  I forgot to marinate it the night before, and it was still amazing.  A definite easy keeper.

I made this recipe using both chicken thighs and breasts and I like the taste of the chicken breasts the best. They seemed to absorb more of the marinade and the flavor was very bright. I thought the flavor was a little subdued in the thigh meat.

Great sauce.  I browned 4 chicken thighs in a skillet .  Meanwhile I made 1/2 the  sauce in a saucepan, reduced it slightly then added the sauce to the skillet over the chicken.  It continued to reduce while the chicken continued to cook.  I served it all over rice.  It was very tasty and tender.  Quick and easy..   servings 2

This is a very tasty and easy recipe! My family loves it, they always ask ahead of time for me to make it when they come to visit. I actually make it in the air fryer and it’s always moist and delicious!

I prepared this for our Boy Scouts, Troop 205  for 25 people at Camp Cherokee , and there was none left, they have been asking when will I make it again, I gave 9 parents the recipe. I also did 1/4 lite soy sauce and added 1/4 pineapple juice. I love it.  I will be making the again.

The BEST CHICKEN EVER!!! Yummy! I have marinated it up to 48 hours with no problems. It just gets better. So very, very good. And, I've also baked it in the oven in a pinch when we have a "no burn" day here in AZ (no barbecuing), and it's wonderful.

BEST RECIPE EVER!! I didn’t have ginger root and I did not marinate overnight, or grill lol But pan sauté with a little olive oil - covered to let the flavor simmer all the way through. The last 4 min I put pineapple slices on top of each piece of chicken breast. Then reduce down and serve! Yummmmm....

I made it for my husband who is Hawaiian. He said it was delicious then he gave me his family recipe for Huli Huli chicken. This recipe will be made again.

This is a family favorite! It is good with any type of chicken - breast, legs, thighs. I use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead of gingerroot.

Ever since I went to HI in High School and tried Huli Chicken there I have wanted to recipe. Every time we go to HI we bring back as many bottles of Huli sauce as we can. I tried this recipe and it tastes just like it does from HI! Thank you so much. Now I won't have to go to HI to eat this!!

While I was preparing the marinade, I was thinking this is too much work and next time I will stick with bottled marinade. But after I tasted it, I was sold. It is sooooo good. Much better than any bottled marinade I've ever tasted. I will DEFINITELY make this again. Everyone LOVED it!

This is such a great recipe!! I prepared this for a pool party we had and everyone loved it!

Cut back 1/4 on the soy sauce and add 1/4 cup of pineapple juice.  Original Island Huli Huli always includes pineapple juice.

ATTENTION:  Taste of Home.  I love to print your recipes to add to my collection.  I do wish your "Test Kitchen Tips" would print, also.

I have made this several times and the only I did different was to add a little corn starch to the reserved sauce heating it to thicken it up and because I'm cooking for larger group of people I double the recipe. I have had equal success on the BBQ and the oven. The guys all crave this chicken!
