Authentic Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken

I love this chicken. You know when people are fighting for the last piece of chicken that you've made a pretty tasty dish. When i lived in hawaii they sold this on the side of the road and the aroma of this dish is like no other!!

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 , 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 , and let rest 5 minutes.
