How to Make Huli Huli Chicken
- In a large container (such as a 1-gallon pitcher), combine the brine ingredients: water, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, and ginger.
- Submerge the chicken pieces completely in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove chicken from brine and pat completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
- In a bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan and brush generously with half of the glaze.
- Roast for 60 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze.
- Continue roasting for another 60-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Baste with pan juices every 20 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
