Description
A simple recipe for baked chicken coated in a sweet and savory Huli Huli sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken pieces (thighs or breasts)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
- Place the chicken pieces in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, turning to coat all sides. Reserve the remaining sauce.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and brush the chicken with some of the reserved sauce.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Baste with the remaining sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in half the sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Grilling the chicken after baking will give it a more authentic charred flavor.
