Your mind is filled with questions: How do you find easy large group recipes which are designed to be made in advance, hold well, and TASTE FANTASTIC? How do you know how much non-recipe food, such as salad, ice and drinks, to buy so that you have enough without unnecessary waste?

Huli Huli Chicken

This is without a doubt one of the Best. Chicken. Recipes. Ever. We fixed this for our luau last year. I figured out of the 140 guests there had to be some folks who didn’t like roast pig. So we made 70 pieces of Huli Huli Chicken to supplement the roast pig. Turns out no one doesn’t like roast pig. But NO ONE wanted to skip the chicken either.
