Smoked Teriyaki Huli Huli Chicken

Thank you to our serious smoker friends at Yoder Smokers for allowing us to share this recipe.

Huli Huli Chicken was first developed in Hawaii, but has made its way to the mainland and is fabulous off the Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet grill. Here’s YS640 owner Tim Young’s take on Huli Huli chicken, and it’s nothing short of amazing! Thanks, Tim!
