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.
