Huli Huli Chicken is a famous Hawaiian dish in Maui. Thie chicken is slowly cooked on the grill with special sauce poured on top of the chicken. On the East coast of Maui near Hana by Koki Beach, the famous Huli Huli Chicken is located there. It is so famous that the top chef Gordon Ramsay have visited this place and amazed by how juicy Huli Huli Chicken is. The video of Gordon Ramsay can be found on YouTube.
Since Huli Huli Chicken was so famous, we definitely had to try it when visiting Maui. We got to Hana by around noon and drove to Koki Beach Park. There were signs along the road indicating the direction to Huli Huli Chicken. The sign even said the place opens every single day. When we got there, there was already a lot of people. When we saw the closed sign hanging at the front of the tent, we thought all the chickens were sold out. Then when we saw rows and rows of chicken cooking on the grill, we figured that the owner was too busy and didn't have time to remove the sign.
We ordered the half chicken plate and it comes with half chicken, 2 scoops of rice, macaroni salad and green salad. We took our food to one of the tables along the beach. The breeze from the ocean felt so good, it was an amazing spot to enjoy Huli Huli Chicken.
When we opened the box, the smell of the chicken was so good. We immediately put a piece of chicken in the mouth and the chicken was very juicy. We loved it. The macaroni salad was really good too. There were potato bits in the salad. After having few more pieces of chicken, although the chicken was tasty and juicy, we started to find it to be salty. We had to drink a lot of water.
Overall, Huli Huli Chicken did not disappoint. We really enjoyed it and it is definitely the place to go to when visiting Hana.
