Huli-huli chicken

In 1954, Ernest Morgado, a naval intelligence officer during World War II, and Mike Asagi, a chicken farmer, founded the Pacific Poultry Company in {{okina}}Ewa, Hawaii. The next year, at a meeting with farmers, Morgado and Asagi first barbecued chicken in a teriyaki-like sauce, Morgado's mother's recipe.{{harvnb|Ronck|1995|p=228}}{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eW7xAAAAMAAJ&q=Ernest+Morgado+huli+huli+chicken|magazine=Hawaii Magazine|volume=21|year=2004|page=49|title=The Companies We Keep|access-date=16 July 2017}} After seeing its popularity, Morgado began cooking huli-huli chicken at fundraisers. Millions of dollars have been raised over the years for charities by selling huli-huli chicken, according to Morgado's stepson. Fundraisers at churches and schools selling huli-huli chicken were common around Hawaii for many years.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2012/08/geek-eat-huli-huli/|first=Natania|last=Barron|date=16 August 2012|title=Eat Like a Geek: Huli Huli Chicken!|magazine=Wired|access-date=15 July 2017}}

Morgado never released his huli-huli sauce recipe, though other chefs have made approximations.

Most recipes call for a glaze or sauce with ingredients including pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.{{cite web|url=https://www.cookscountry.com/recipes/4789-huli-huli-chicken|title=Huli Huli Chicken|date=June 2009|work=Cook's Country|access-date=14 July 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/huli-huli-chicken-on-the-grill-recipe-2125134|title=Huli Huli Chicken on the Grill|first=Guy|last=Fieri|author-link=Guy Fieri|work=Food Network|publisher=Scripps Networks|access-date=14 July 2017}} Some recipes may call for lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Sriracha or red pepper flakes, rice wine or sherry vinegar, chicken broth, white wine, or mustard.{{harvnb|Carruthers|Valenciana|Scholl|2016|p=160}} Some recipes call for brining the chicken in a solution with kosher salt, sugar, bay leaves, garlic, sesame oil, or thyme, before marinating it in the sauce.

The chicken can be cooked on a grill or a rotisserie. While cooking, it is regularly basted with the glaze, and turned over ("huli-ed").{{harvnb|Raichlen|2003|pp=389–392?}} Mesquite (kiawe) wood chips are traditionally used to add a smoky flavor.
