Title: First Huli Huli Chicken
Post by: Kona on April 24, 2016, 06:26:40 PM: I made Huli Huli chicken tonight for the first time and all I have to say is it's outstanding! I love the flavor profile and will definitely make it again. I also experimented and I hung a whole onion for the entire cook, it actually came out nice and soft and was pretty darn tasty.

Post by: Kona on April 25, 2016, 11:56:34 AM: it had a nice kick to and I only used half of the cayenne the recipe called for. It called for one tablespoons which is a lot of cayenne.

This was the dry rub:

2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly cracked black pepper

The Sauce:
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger

The Brine:
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 bay leaves
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 cups ice

I put the sauce on around the last 15 minutes and the cook probably took about 2 hours. I don't measure the temp and never have, I light my coals, wait 12 minutes, hang the meat and cover. That's the beauty of the PBC, you don't need to measure temps :)
