This Hawaiian Huli-Huli Chicken is supposed to be BBQ’d or baked in the oven but I Airfried them with delicious results.
Huli-Huli chicken is a grilled chicken dish in Hawaiian cuisine, prepared by barbecuing a chicken over mesquite wood and basting it with a sweet Huli-Huli sauce.
What does mesquite wood taste like?
Mesquite wood has a strong and earthy flavor that is ideal for most red and dark meats. It’s one of the hottest burning woods. Mulberry smoking wood has a flavor similar to apple that is ideal when grilling poultry, fish, and pork.
What meats are good with mesquite?
Mesquite Flavor Bisquettes especially pair well with beef, pork, game, fish, seafood, waterfowl, and nuts. Additionally, try mesquite smoke for grilling steaks, vegetables, and other quick-cooking, flavorful foods. Pro tip: Mesquite wood’s strong flavor can overpower mild poultry, pork shoulder, ribs, and fish
