Receta Easy Huli Huli BBQ Chicken
Popularized in Hawaii as a rotisserie chicken dish (huli means "turn"), I have adapted it for a charcoal grill. The chicken is butterflied before grilling, which leads to more even cooking.
If you don't grill much, have a meat thermometer handy.
(If you prefer to cook it whole, us a V rack and keep the chicken elevated over direct heat.)
Ingredientes
- 2 - 4 lb. or slightly less weight whole chickens, washed, butterflied,
- salt and pepper
- Huli Huli Glaze:
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp. ginger powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
Direcciones
- Using regular charcoal, fire up the grill for direct and indirect heat.
- Have a bit of mesquite wood on hand and add it occasionally.
- Rub salt and pepper on the chickens.
- When grate is hot, place chickens, breast up, on indirect heat.
- Make the glaze by heating the ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- After 40 minutes, move the chickens, breast down, to direct heat.
- Cook another 20-30 minutes. Begin checking temp of thighs.
- When thighs register 155 degrees, start applying the glaze to the chicken, turning it every few minutes, as not to burn.
- Chicken is done when the thighs register 175 F.
- Remove to a platter, tent with foil.
- Let rest 10 minutes.
- Cut in pieces and serve with remaining sauce.
