Huli Huli chicken wings are a Hawaiian-style recipe for chicken wings that are marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. The wings are then grilled until they are crispy and coated in the Huli Huli sauce. The name "Huli Huli" means "turn turn" in Hawaiian, and refers to the tradition of turning the wings on the grill to ensure even cooking. These chicken wings are often served at backyard barbecues and are a popular food in Hawaii.

Here is a recipe for Huli Huli chicken wings:

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  • In a large bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and ginger. Mix well to combine.
  • Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Season the wings with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the wings for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
  • As the wings cook, prepare the Huli Huli sauce by heating the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the marinade to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the sauce for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened and reduced by about half.
  • When the wings are done cooking, brush them with the Huli Huli sauce and serve hot. Enjoy!
