I made this recipe last weekend, halving the amount of chicken, but making the full amount of sauce as I was afraid that halving the sauce would make an inferior product. I'm so glad I trusted my instincts because later in the week I used the left over sauce for grilled salmon and boy I can't tell you which was better. I used the honey option for the basting sauce and both the chicken version and the salmon version were delightful with slightly charred and crispy edges from the honey hitting the grill. Thank you Rita L. for sharing the recipe. I feel like I got 2 for the effort of one on this recipe lol!

This is very close to my Huli Huli recipe, which always gets raves. I almost always use whole boneless chicken breasts and grill until just cooked through. I use sweet rice wine instead of sherry, and do not add curry powder. Be sure to marinate at least 4 hours or overnight. I double (or triple!) the marinade, then after removing the chicken, I boil it for 5 minutes then serve it over the chicken and over rice.

This was good. I marinated overnight in mixture (saving some for basting) and BBQ'd. Used mild curry and kids loved it!

Great recipe for summer grilling. Made this for a large group, and they loved it. Used 1/2 the Thai chili sauce, as many don't like "heat," so offered Tabasco on the side.

Rita is correct that "huli huli" means "turn, turn". Most huli huli recipes are either teriyaki or a more vinegar based marinade. I have never had one as spicy as this recipe. I was out of curry, & I imagine that would add a nice layer of complexity to the sauce. I'll make sure I have some on hand for next time. Will probably cut back a bit on the heat in defrence to dd, but I liked it a lot "as it". Oh, BTW, I made it on chicke, Good stuff, Rita.

Very good recipe with an Asian flavor. I used the honey and chicken thighs, this time left the skin on. You are right you have to turn it over and baste it many times. Served it with a spinach salad and baked potatoes.

Excellent. Had some friends over, threw this together & everyone really enjoyed the flavor. I didn't change the recipe for the sauce other than used it for a marinade first, then brought to boil and brushed over chicken while BBQing. Excellent!
