Huli Huli Chicken

  Huli Huli Chicken is a Saturday morning tradition in Hawaii. Men's clubs around the islands set up shop in gas station parking lots, strip malls, and school parking lots. While you're out running weekend errands you'll see the smoke billowing ahead and know there is someone grilling Huli chickens. In my case, on Saturdays I was on my way to work driving along Kam Highway when I would be on the lookout for the smoke on the horizon. I'd stop and grab some Huli chicken for my work lunch. If I was lucky, there was a spot still open when I went home from work in the afternoon and I'd pick up another bird for dinner.   Huli Huli Chicken Saturdays are so popular the Barefoot Natives recorded a song known throughout the islands.  Click the link and sing along...It will make you want to get up and dance around the room.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66gqHe562Dw I n 1954,  Ernest Morgado   f ounded the Pacific Poultry Company.
