Huli chicken

Huli chicken at GJ's in Waimea in Hawaii

Huli chicken is an Hawaiian dish, first created in 1955 by Ernest Morgado of Pacific Poultry. The chicken is marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, then grilled on a rotating spit. Huli is the Hawaiian word for turn, hence the name.

These photos were taken at GJ’s Huli Chicken, which operates in Waimea on the weekends. It’s easy to tell when they’re open because the smoke drifts across the road and the aroma is unmistakable!

      It’s excellent. We get half a chicken and their very good mac salad for $20 including tip. We have our fill of that the first day and make a chicken salad meal with the leftovers!
