How to Make Huli Huli Chicken Sauce

  1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour sauce over chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place marinated chicken in a baking dish.
  4. Bake for 60-75 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining marinade. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
