HULI HULI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, sherry, ginger, garlic, green onions, and dry mustard in a large resealable plastic bag, stirring the marinade until brown sugar has dissolved. Place chicken pieces into the bag, squeeze out air, seal bag, and lomi (massage) bag to coat chicken with marinade. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight.
• Move an oven rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from marinade and arrange chicken, skin sides up, on a broiler pan.
• Bake chicken in preheated oven until browned on both sides and the juices run clear, turning every 10 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes. Baste with remaining marinade after each turning. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece of chicken, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

AUTHENTIC HAWAIIAN HULI HULI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Brine chicken: Combine water and soy sauce in large bowl. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in soy sauce mixture. Add chicken and refrigerate, covered, for at least one hour or up to eight hours, not longer cuz it will get salty.
• glaze: Combine pineapple juice, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and chili garlic sauce in empty saucepan and bring boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thick and syrupy (you should have about one cup), 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange chicken skin side up on grill. Grill until well browned not burned, now flip with skin side down, and brown skin until done. Transfer chicken to platter, brush with half of glaze,(other half for dipping) and let rest 5 minutes.

HULI HULI CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl or a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic, and stir or shake until combined. Reserve and refrigerate 1/2 cup of the mixture for basting the chicken later. Add the chicken to the remaining mixture, and stir or shake until evenly coated. If using a bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours, turning the chicken at least once.
• When you're ready to cook, oil your grill grates well. Heat the grill to medium (for charcoal, the grill is ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds). Add the chicken to the grill, cover, and cook 25 to 35 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to keep the chicken from burning, and basting it with the reserved marinade after you turn it, until cooked through. (Cook times will vary depending on sizes and cuts of chicken pieces, so be sure to check for doneness: Meat should not be pink and the juices should run clear.) Serve immediately.

HULA PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the cookie crumbs to the melted butter and stir until well combined.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to pack tightly against the bottom and sides of the pan. Freeze overnight.
• Make the ice cream dome: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the ice cream to a large bowl and stir until it reaches a thick, frozen yogurt consistency. Add ½ cup of the macadamia nuts and mix until well combined.
• Line an 8-inch bowl with plastic wrap and grease with nonstick spray.
• Scoop the ice cream into the prepared bowl and smooth the top. Cover and freeze overnight.
• Remove the ice cream dome and chocolate cookie crust from the freezer. Unwrap the bowl with the ice cream and carefully place upside-down over the crust. Remove the bowl and plastic wrap. Freeze again while you make the fudge sauce.
• In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, ⅔ cup cream, the corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring to simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir to melt the chocolate chips. Chill the fudge sauce in the refrigerator for 60 minutes before using.
• Spread about 1 cup of the cooled fudge sauce over the ice cream dome. Freeze again until the fudge is firm, 30 minutes.
• Make the whipped cream: Add the remaining cup of heavy cream and the powdered sugar to a large bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer on high speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pie from the freezer and cut into 6 slices. Garnish each slice with whipped cream and the remaining macadamia nuts.
• Enjoy!
