Huli Huli Sauce brings the sweet, savory, and tropical flavors of Hawaii to chicken wings. Fresh ginger, garlic, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar create a rich teriyaki-like sauce with plenty of flavor, while ketchup adds body and a little tang.
This sauce was originally used as a marinade, but the sugar can cause it to burn when the wings are cooked. We found it works better as a finishing sauce, tossed with hot cooked wings after they come off the grill, oven, or air fryer. Serve the wings with fresh pineapple slices for an extra taste of the tropics.
