Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken

By MaryEllen

Huli huli means turn turn in Hawaiian. This gluten-free teriyaki chicken can be cooked on the grill or in the oven. Marinate the chicken in half the barbecue sauce before cooking to create a deep, rich flavor. Brush on remaining sauce while cooking, turning the chicken frequently to achieve a golden-brown color
