I got this grilled chicken recipe from a friend while living in Hawaii. It sizzles with the flavors of brown sugar, ginger and soy sauce. Huli means "turn" in Hawaiian. —Sharon Boling, Coronado, California

My husband who doesn't like chicken even said this one was good. Very nice and different flavor than usual.

Very good & easy to make!!! I even made it in the late afternoon, didn't read the recipe all the way through seeing that it needed 8 hrs to marinade. I left it marinading at room temp for about an hour, and it was fantastic!!!

Delicious! I mis-read the recipe and did not reserve marinade for basting and it worked out just fine. I also mixed boneless thighs and boneless chicken breasts (I cut these in half so that the sizes were similar) so that guests could have a choice. Taste was very good; I tried this out on guests and they gave it a thumbs up. It met all of the criteria I have for a winner of a recipe: it was easy, used ingredients that most people would have on hand, could be assembled ahead of time, had a short cook time and, most of all, tasted great!!

Great recipe. I used chicken tenderlions, as I was grilling I sprinkled red crushed pepper on them. It was great.

Not sure why stars didn't show up for me to rate this, but yes, FIVE stars. Great flavor. Did it with chicken breasts. Very tender. Only marinated it for about 5 hours. Thanks for the great recipe.
