Step 2: Flip the chicken back over so it’s skin side down and pour in huli huli sauce. Cover with lid and place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and remove the lid with a pot holder. Flip the chicken once more so it is skin side up. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and cook for 30 more minutes or until temperature reaches 165º F when taken with a meat thermometer. Serve Baked Huli Huli Chicken with rice and pineapple slices and garnish with green onions. So good!

Tips:

Store bought Huli Huli sauce is equally delicious! It can be found at World Market, Amazon, and international grocery stores.
The pan will be so hot when you remove it from the oven. I leave an oven mitt on the handle so I don’t forget and try to pick it up.
