Main Course

Sticky, caramelized, and layered with sweet-savory depth, this Huli Huli Chicken earns every mahogany glaze it gets. Spiceology Maui Wowee Blend brings tropical warmth and just the right complexity to a marinade that tenderizes overnight and lacquers beautifully on the grill or in the oven. Fire this up for weekend gatherings or anytime you need a showstopper with minimal effort.

      1. Marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge.

      2. Set oven temperature to 375° F.

      3. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry.
      4. While the oven heats up, brush the sauce you set aside from your marinade over your chicken and quickly sear in a cast iron or sauté pan.

      5. Set chicken on a sheet tray and bake at 375° F until internal temperature reaches 165° F. The color should be a beautiful mahogany color. About 45 minutes.

      6. Serving suggestion: Serve over a bed of short-grain rice.
