Huli Huli Chicken Sauce is a Hawaiian marinade traditionally used for grilled chicken. The term “huli” means “turn” in Hawaiian, referring to turning the chicken as it grills. The sauce is a flavorful mix of pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar.

    • 1 cup pineapple juice

    • 1/2 cup soy sauce
