Welcome to a culinary journey to the heart of Hawaii with our Baked Huli Huli Chicken recipe, a dish that promises to bring the vibrant tastes and aromas of the islands right into your kitchen. Huli Huli Chicken is a beloved Hawaiian barbecue staple that is traditionally cooked on a rotisserie, but we’ve adapted it for easy baking while keeping all the tropical flavors intact. Imagine the sweet, tangy, and savory notes that come together in a dance of flavors that’s as refreshing as a Pacific breeze.

Ingredients

    • 3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

    • 1 cup pineapple juice

    • 1/2 cup soy sauce

    • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

    • 1/3 cup ketchup

    • 1/4 cup chicken broth

    • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced

    • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

    • 1 tablespoon water

    • Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish (optional)

    • Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)

    • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in a large baking dish.

    1. In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a low boil.

    1. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir this into the simmering sauce until it thickens.

    1. Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

    1. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce caramelizes beautifully. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking.

    1. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking before garnishing with pineapple slices, green onions, and sesame seeds if desired.
