Why This Recipe Works
Our Hawaiian huli huli sauce, traditionally used to baste grilled chicken, also shines as a flavorful coating for chicken wings. This sticky-sweet and complex sauce features a pineapple juice base, enhanced by brown sugar for sweetness; soy sauce and ketchup for savory depth; rice vinegar for a bright note; and garlic, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce for punch. We reduce the mixture to concentrate the flavors, achieving a syrupy consistency that perfectly clings to the wings.
