My wife and I just got back from Hawaii. One thing I wanted to bring home was Huli Huli chicken and macaroni salad. Huli Huli means turn turn in Hawaiian.
Macaroni Salad:
1 Lb macaroni elbows
2 cups of mayonnaise
2 cups half and half
¼ cup dill pickles chopped
½ cup pineapple chopped
1 cup chopped yellow onion
¼ cup salad vinegar
2 celery slices chopped
1 carrot grated
1 bunch (8) green onion chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
I cooked this with Mesquite. It is the closest thing to Kaiwe wood.
Huli Huli Brine:
½ gallon water
2 cups low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup freshly grated ginger
6 minced garlic cloves
Heat the water, soy and vegetable oil on medium heat for a few minutes then add the rest. Heat for 5 more then take off the heat and add the chicken. Set it in the refrigerator for 2 hours turning occasionally. Remove the chicken from the brine and add ¾ of the marinade. Marinade in the refrigerator overnight. Use the remaining marinade to mop the chicken as you are cooking it. Mahalo
Huli Huli marinade:
2 cups of pineapple juice
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup rice vinegar
5 minced garlic cloves
¼ cup freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
