Hawaii may be thousands of miles away, but you can bring its vibrant flavors right into your backyard with this irresistible Huli Huli Chicken recipe! Inspired by the golden shores of Honolulu, this juicy chicken is drenched in a sweet and smoky glaze that’ll have you licking your fingers in delight.

Here’s how you can embark on this culinary adventure:

Combine brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, sherry, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Reserve some for glazing later.

Divide the remaining marinade into two dishes and dunk your chicken thighs in them, turning to coat every inch.

Seal the dishes and let your chicken marinate in the fridge for at least eight hours, or even overnight for maximum flavor.

When the clock strikes grilling time, drain the chicken, discard the marinade, and fire up your grill.

Place the chicken thighs on an oiled rack and let them sizzle over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach a tantalizing 170°F.

During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade, creating a sticky glaze that will make you weak in the knees.

Once the chicken has kissed its golden perfection, serve it with a side of rice, pineapple, or coleslaw for a complete Hawaiian experience!
