Been craving Huli Huli so here we go.

This is the base recipe a friend in Hawaii gave me. I typically don't measure much and make approx. a double batch. I reserve a cup or so for basting during the cook. This one of the only times I ever baste while smoking.


3/4 cup, shoyu (soy sauce)
3-4 fresh squeezed limes
1/2 cup, honey
1/3 cup, brown sugar
3-6 garlic cloves - minced
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons, minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Sambal oelek (Asian Chile paste) or 3-6 Hawaiian Chiles
Hawaiian Sea salt to taste ( I omit as I feel the Shoyu has enough salt)
Good amount of pepper


I do a very similar one omitting your ketchup, for the zests of two oranges. 
 

I'm planning a huli huli smoke for myself and stumbled upon this!

That looks frickin awesome!!!

I'm hoping you were using kiawe charcoal... ;)

I'm in Case. " LETS GET READY TO RUMBUUUUUUUL"   Looks so good it deserves a repeat my friend. 

Thanks Brian, yeah I'm going to the store to get everything I don't need! May have to wait for the weekend though. Supposed to snow a bunch, perfect time to get the Huli Huli burning to make me feel like I'm not in a blizzard!!!!!

Its really tasty! I think with the next one that I do, I will strip the bird naked (save the skin for schmaltz), and also inject the bird. I was looking at the mini-wsm and I don't think that there is enough room to rotate a spatched bird, it would be very tight. So may have to fire up the UDS.
 
Huli  Huli  spatched chicken here I come!!  Love these types of recipes!!  Maybe some good rice and kimchi as sides will do also.  Thanks for the recipe and the pic's.  I also will double the recipe for some extra for basting.  Reinhard

Consider injecting, I'm going to give that a shot, and probably strip the skin off the bird.

This is best served with two scoops of rice and a big scoop of potato Mac!
