Hawaiian Huli Huli Marinade Sauce Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Huli huli marinade is an intensely sweet and savory teriyaki-style sauce popular in hawaii. It's a simple mixture of brown cane sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and other aromatics. Huli huli marinade is used to marinate chicken or pork, which is then often cooked on a rotisserie and always over an open fire as pictured to the right. A grill will do the trick. "Huli" Means "Turn" In hawaiian, and legend has it that the name comes from the fact that its creator, ernest morgado, made it by cooking the soy-marinated chicken between two grills, turning the grills on their sides to do so. Luckily for those of us who like to keep things easy, the sauce is so tasty that it more than makes up for anything lacking in a regular single home grill. Feel free to play around with the sauce. Add a kick of red pepper flakes or hot sauce even though it most certainly is not traditional. This recipe is enough for one large or two small chickens or about five to six pounds of chicken pieces if you're making huli huli chicken, or a similar amount of pork. It doubles and even triples just fine if you have a large party or luau in mind.
