Pit Barrel Huli Huli Chicken Recipe

[@Chilious1]

My wife bought me a Pit Barrel Smoker for father's day gift, I got it almost a week ago, and experimented with it by smoking a tri-tip, a whole fryer and some ribs they all came out well, or at least better than expected. Now that I've watched the videos on this channel, my smoking experience increased and I've now been asked to smoke some meats for our friends. I'm gonna try out this Huli-Huli chicken recipe and hope I can pull off another culinary surprise. Big props to Smokey Ribs and those wonderful recipes, maybe with a little more experience, I'll be able to develop a few recipies of my own, Thanks again Smokey Ribs, my wife even thinks I can actually cook.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Glad your enjoying cooking on a PBC! I love mine, and really need to get it back in action soon. Thanks for the great comments, and your going to love the huli huli chicken or at least we did :)

[@aaronwoodard7626]

i have watched this video at least a dozen times! i cooked it tonight on my kammado and HOLY COW my new favorite chicken! i modified the cook slightly i used legs, thighs and breast individually then i started first low and slow indirectly cooking it at 250 for about a hour then i pulled the chicken and the smoke stone and ramped grill up to 350 and finished it off with two coatings of the sauce and my lord. i had my parents over for dinner and to try my dads first comment when he saw the grill " are you feeding a army" after dinner we put 3 pieces of chicken in the fridge!! it was a little spicy for my mom next time i think i will make some as you did and make a separate rub minus the cayenne for the heat intolerant. Love you videos keep up the good work.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for the feedback, I enjoyed reading that!

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Hello Russ...Sir I love the way you grill. The chicken looks fantastic with a beautiful color...

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill Hey Ray, and thanks brother!

[@altonza]

These videos keep me connected with home while being away overseas. Thanks so much and PLEASE don't shorten them!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+TheDurhamBull I'm glad your enjoying them, and I appreciate you watching them. I've always had a hard time doing a short video lol, so that shouldn't be a problem ;)

[@altonza]

Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Thanks mate!

[@GA1dad]

Another fine "must try" recipe. You guys are really stepping up on the camera work. The HD quality is really easy on the viewers,,, thanks!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

GA1dad Yes, I hope you do try this one for sure! Thanks, I for one, have really tried to step up my video and audio in the past 8 months or so, and it really is much better than before and really complements the food as well

[@brianthompson3543]

Russ, I made this tonight and it was probably the best chicken I have ever had. using my PBC it took just over 2 hrs from beginning to end. juicy, tender, and flavors that are out of this world. I wish I could post a pic to show you how awesome it looked.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good deal! Glad you enjoyed the recipe, I know we sure do love it too! I don't know if you use facebook, but if you do, you can post the photo on my Smoky Ribs page, and then I'll share it from there so it will be seen in the main feed on the page. Thanks for the feedback, I sure appreciate it!

[@HamCubes]

Sweet Jesus! That is the best-looking chicken I've ever seen! Gorgeous!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

AeroDoe Thanks so much! I appreciate that, and really appreciate you watching :)

[@riggle1947]

Got the pit barrel on Tues and did Huli Huli on Sat. Followed your instructions to the "T". Without a doubt the best barbqued/smoked chicken I have ever tasted and I have done a ton of Virginia chicken in the past 43 years! As a side dish I made pineapple rice. Fantastic partners! I'll send you the recipe I used if you want.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Steve Riggleman Really glad you liked the huli huli chicken! Steve we just loved it too! I would love to have the recipe for the pineapple rice! That sounds fantastic! Thanks!!!

[@rogerl6549]

Just ordered a PBC & should have by next Wed.Glad I watched this video because I always brine my chickens. You saved me an extra step. Thanks. Will also try your Huli Huli recipe it looks like a winner! Thanks again, Roger

[@BallisticBBQ]

Great call using the PBC on Huli Huli. I usually cook the old school "Flip Flip" basket, but I have to say, I think I'll rock it this way next time. Great job Rus!

[@lildagnamet8760]

I want a pit barrel. Looks so good I wanted to jump through the screen.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Ballistic BBQ Thanks Greg! That's what I love about the PBC, compared to a grill. No flipping or turning. Just let her rip ;)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Ian Craft They are a fantastic product for a great price, and do an amazing job.

[@socalcook]

Great video. One of the best videos on KZbin when it cones to using a Pit Barrel Cooker, with the lighting of the coals, waiting 20 minutes to come to temp etc. Gonna make chicken with a white Alabama bbq sauce today on my PBC but I guarantee I'll be trying this out next. Great job....thanks!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I sure appreciate the comment! Let me know what you think of this recipe after you make it. Chicken with Alabama white sauce sounds really good!

[@faironp6299]

Looks great Rus, can't wait to try it. I lived in Hawaii for 6 years and really enjoyed the huli huli chicken from the road side rotisserie grills. You know they were near when you started smelling the Kiawe (pronounced "Kee-ah-vay") smoke. It sure was hot in south MS last weekend, I was visiting family in Bay St Louis. Keep up the great work.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Fairon Pavolini Thanks, and also thanks for the correct pronunciation of kiawe. Yes, it was smokin hot last weekend for sure! I'm not that for from Bay St. Louis. I live in Biloxi, or actually right on the edge of Biloxi

[@Ironchef2001]

Just Got my pit Barrel smoker I'm doing wings and ribs tomorrow but this is definitely gonna be my next cook. I even have some pink Hawaiian Salt along with all the other ingredients for the rub and glaze. That is some beautiful chicken man. Thanks for the video helping us novices Start strong!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Your going to love this recipe, or I'm pretty sure you will. I've had a lot of feed back from other people that have tried it, and they just love it! Enjoy the new PBC, and thanks for the comments!

[@pingstick]

I saw a Youtbe video of Mike's Huli Huli chicken on Oahu and wanted to try it. We rented a van in Oahu on a trip a few months later and just followed the coast. I was so surprised when we rounded a corner after a couple hours of driving and there was his yellow truck and trailer. He explained the process and I got a couple of pics with him by his truck doing the hangloose sign. I bought two chickens and it was awesome. Of course I did not ask his recipe, but now I know from you just about what it is. Thanks Russ!! A small tip from Mike is that he likes to use small chickens. Insider info. Am pretty sure you don't mind that. I like to learn and that is why is why I am a subscriber.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+pingstick Very cool being able to eat the original real deal Huli Huli Chicken! I would love to do that! I appreciate the tip, I'll keep that in mine next time for sure!

[@Juanelo1946]

Rus, I've seen Huli Huli chicken before but have never tasted it. Yours looks as flavor-packed, tender and moist as any chicken I've ever seen!!! The pit barrel smoker did a magnificent job! The periodic basting was a big part of your success I think, huh? Wow is about all I can say!!! Great job my friend!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Juanelo1946 Thank you so much John! The huli huli chicken has some really awesome flavor! I'm not much of a chicken eater, but I'll be making this again soon! We loved it!

[@001SapoBBQ]

This is the type of BBQ my Asian friends in NorCal would make!!! Yours is excellent!!! Thanks for another awesome video!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Cookin with Surfin Sapo Thanks Sapo! Excellent flavors in that sauce as well as the rub

[@haroldmusa]

Made this today for dinner, but I brined first. Used a weber kettle. It is FANTASTIC..... thanks for the recipe Rus. Gonna try the sauce on some pork chops next.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+haroldmusa Glad you enjoyed it! Good call on brining.

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

More PBC videos please! Just got mine and I am learning. You have the best videos on PBC! Thanks

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+The Prepared Wanderer Glad to hear you got a PBC! I love mine! I'll do some more videos for sure, but got a lot of other things going on right now, so it may be a little while, but it's coming :)

[@mizzpoetrics]

I decided to try this after reading all the rave reviews & I'm so glad I did! I didn't have access to a grill in the wee hours 😅 of the morning, so I pan seared instead. I made a few adjustments to the spice rub - I used smoked paprika, smoked sea salt, ground crushed red pepper (I ran out of cayenne), 1/2 tsp ground grains of paradise, which has a very close flavor profile to that of black pepper. I kind of felt guilty after that because I wasn't sticking close to the recipe, so I got out my coffee grinder and ground some peppercorns! 😂 I also added 1 tsp of ground bay leaf salt (made it myself ), as I noticed some other recipes called for brining, using salt, sugar & bay leaf. I also dialed back on the ground pepper, I can handle the heat, but my kids unfortunately, cant! The sauce I followed exactly, except for the addition of about 1/2 cup of brown sugar to balance the salt, & I think I'll use reduce sodium soy sauce next time. I LOVED IT! The chicken was tender & flavorful.

[@rasa2657]

Awesome looking chicken. Please post more recipes for the pit barrel cooker.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Ra Sa Thank you, and I will. I've ideas coming soon

[@jeffsatterwhite5350]

Looks great! The dark meat is my biggest challenge on PBC cooks.

[@TJsFX4]

Rus, I made this last night and I have to say it was spot on delicious!! My heat got a little high on my Weber after basting but other than that it was very good. For tonight I made a couple quesadilla's with the left over chicken and Huli Huli sauce, they were excellent!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

***** Thanks for the feedback Todd! Really glad you tried it, and liked it :)

[@mrslaharris7128]

ik this is old shows but i love how u explain every thing i just subscribe to u not long ago so im learning alll ur food ty keep them coming my husband go be like what when he come home from overseas next year im cooking like u ty 💘 u on ur show

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you for subscribing! I sure appreciate it and glad you are enjoying the videos and recipes. I have more current videos out as well and more on the way, so enjoy, and I'm sure your husband will too :)

[@KOWHeigel]

I just got a PBC and this was the first thing I made. It came out absolutely fantastic. The chicken took quite a bit longer (like 4+ hours) to cook but I had my PBC running at like ~260-270 the majority of the time.

[@csteegs8681]

I have my PBC ordered and it's arriving this Thursday. I got he hinged grill attachment and will be doing this recipe along with some cedar plank salmon and veggies. Cant wait and thanks for the recipe!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Chris Stigall Have fun with the PBC! I really enjoy cooking on mine. That hinged grill will really come in handy when you hang ribs, and have something else going on the grate. Great improvement for the PBC

[@iSabier]

That looks absolutely divine. Cheers from India.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+iSabier Cheers to India! Thank you so much :)

[@olangus4940]

Just got back from Hawaii. Your Huli Huli chicken is spot on my brother spot on..

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Ol Angus Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it! Would love to go to Hawaii myself one day :)

[@tangojoe9694]

It's been way too long since I have enjoyed Huli Huli Chicken and yours looks spot on Rus! Excellent!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Tango Joe Thanks Joe! We throughly enjoyed it :)

[@wilberteric]

I can smell that through the internet! Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthernCoastalCookingTM]

great looking chicken, glaze looked amazing

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Southern Coastal Cooking ™ Thanks Joe! The sauce was delicious :)

[@SmokedReb]

Wow Rus, this chicken looked amazing, the color, the juices, the sauce absolutely incredible. Great job!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Smoked Reb BBQ Thank you Brian! I was very happy with the results. Flavor totally rocks!

[@Juanelo1946]

Wow, Rus! I love your spice rub! Awesome flavoring! The Huli Huli sauce is off the charts! The chicken looks divine! Thanks for showing us your expert techniques!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Juanelo1946 Thanks John, and thanks so much for watching! The sauce is really really good, and would go great on a number of different meats :)

[@elrabbitsbbq]

Man Brother! I've had that Huli Huli Chix on my to do list for a while now! This is outstanding the results are spot on! That Pit Barrel Kicks butt in my opinion!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

elrabbitsbbq Manuel, your just gonna have to give it a try brother! You won't regret it I promise. Yes sir, the PBC ROCKS!

[@AllasYummyFood]

great recipe Rus!!! yummy!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

AllasYummyFood Thank you Alla! It was delicious :)

[@olangus4940]

made Your Huli Huli Chicken again Sir. Wonderful as always. Good Teacher you are. Thanks.

[@Chilious1]

Ok I did it! I made Huli-Huli chicken last night and it came out perfect, my wife and friend, said it's the bomb.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good deal! We love it too. Thanks for the update and glad it worked out good for you!

[@rigoa4230]

That looks sooooooo good. I just wish you made a video on where you got the barrel, basket where you put the charcoal etc....

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I have a link right under the video in the "Show More" area where I got the Pit Barrel Cooker. It comes with everything you seen in the video

[@nonfikshon]

I did this last night on my freshly arrived Pit Barrel Cooker. Oh My Goodness. Fantastic!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

nonfikshon Thanks for the feed back. I appreciate it :)

[@nonfikshon]

Smoky Ribs Brats or Italian sausage on the pit barrel one hour. Brush with Huli Huli sauce 45 minutes in....whoa nelly. That's all I got to say.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Sounds like a great combination! Thanks :D

[@niceguy1222]

I made this up today and it was spectacular. Thanks for posting.

[@valcomm5]

Rus, this absolutely Rocks. I was a little bit worried about the mesquite at first, but, brother. Looks like you got it goin on. Absolutely killer video! Man that looks insatiable.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Smokes A Rollin Thanks Russ! Mesquite is a strong wood like hickory, but as long as you don't over smoke the meat, it has a fantastic flavor, and this chicken was no exception. So good brother!

[@valcomm5]

You rocked this. I've never seen anyone do chicken as gorgeous as yours. Absolutely magnificent.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Russ! I appreciate it brother :D

[@csteegs8681]

Did this last night and the burf came out amazingly. Live the pit cooker and this re ipe. Added a little sugar to the sauce just to my own taste; great vid, keep them coming!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Chris Stigall Glad you enjoyed the recipe and the PBC. I appreciate the feed back. Yes, any recipe can be tweaked to your own preference. That's the really cool thing about cooking, there is always away to make tweaks and twist and improve on it to your liking. :)

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Great looking chicken, definitely trying this Huli Huli sauce. Well done!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Aim'em and Claim'em Smokers Thanks James! This sauce would rock on pork, wings, etc.!

[@ozzylover65]

It was so juicy and tender! It wasn't salty and the sauce was great!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Terynia Jones I couldn't agree more ;)

[@JorgeMartinez-yp7kl]

Tastiest chicken ive had in forever!! Thank you so much for the recipe!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Your welcome and thank you for the feedback!

[@Delete_The_Elite]

Tried a few different ways with Huli Huli but you're recepie is by far the best in my opinion. Had to lose the Cayenne pepper though I love it but my wife and kids don't. Greetings from Australia

[@kacjan]

Hej. Bardzo ciekawa kompozycja przypraw. Wypróbuję ją przy najbliższej okazji.

[@BrewmasterTim]

Nice, Nice, Nice. I love the grilled chicken recipes. Thanks. Tim.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Brewmaster Tim Thank you! Your gonna love this one :)

[@BlairW387]

Hey Russ I decided to make this recipe last night on my kamado Joe and it was awesome. The wife loved it also. I like the good spice it has. That combo of rub and sauce would go awesome on some wings. Thanks for all the great videos. Keep them coming.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Blair Weidman Really glad you gave it a try, and yes it would make some awesome wings, and would go good with pork as well. Your welcome Blair, and I really appreciate you watching my videos :)

[@beansandsiegefordinner2439]

About to try this now, hope it all goes well

[@Bornie205]

Thank you so much for sharing - will be trying when the weather in the UK improves

[@MultiTazmo]

Love the channel. Could i do this on an offset? Recently started smoking. Thanks

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Glad you enjoy the channel and yes, you can easily do this in a offset smoker

[@MultiTazmo]

Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Wow thanks for the quick response. Will be smoking this this weekend

[@brockedwards5896]

Made your recipe on my UDS tonight and on a scale of 1 to 10 it was an 800! Wish I could attach a picture to my comment. Thanks for all your videos.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Brock Edwards Wow, thanks for the great feed back, and glad you liked the recipe! We love it as well. I wish you could have posted a pic here as well. You actually can on my Smoky Ribs FaceBook page, but I do realize that a lot of people don't use FaceBook. Thanks so much!

[@Rehdman6444]

Looks great. What temperature did you use to cook chicken. Thanks.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Rehdman6444 Thank you! The cool thing about the Pit Barrel Cooker, is that you can't adjust the heat. Follow their guidelines on how to stoke the fire box with charcoal, and how to light it. Hang the meat, put on the lid, and go by time not temperature. The PBC website has a lot of videos on just how long to cook different meats. Hope you give this one a try, it is really good! Thanks for watching!

[@SmokeyGoodness]

The color on that bird, it's a thing of beauty! So what's cheaper... A trip to Hawaii, or a PBC? I vote for the PBC! heh heh.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

SmokeyGoodness Thanks Dan! A PBC is much cheaper, and it keeps on giving ;)

[@BladeSkier1974]

Did you add wood for smoke throughout the cooking process or only at the beginning? Thanks for the help!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+BladeSkier1974 Chicken absorbs smoke really easy, so I put just enough at the beginning to give it about 2 hours of smoke which is plenty. Longer than that, then it can become over powering. I always treat smoke like any other seasoning.

[@Trekker57]

This recipe looks great. I was wondering what grind of black salt you used. Online they have either fine or coarse. Thanks for the recipe.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Paul Desrosiers The Hawaiian salt I used was more of a coarse grind

[@johnjpa808]

Nice to see some Mississippians cook Hawaiian recipes. I am in south Ms from Hawaii.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

johnjpa808 Now that is pretty cool! Welcome to Mississippi! I've always wanted to visit Hawaii, and maybe one day I can :)

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

I am so going to try this delicious looking recipe. Thanks for sharing my friend....

[@craig721]

Rus, that looks awesome. I have got to give that a try. I've heard of huli huli chicken, but never have taken the time to make it. Thanks for the video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Craig Williams Thanks Craig! Brother, you may just want to give this one a try! Awesome flavors going on :)

[@olangus4940]

Another great recipe Russ. Thanks for sharing. Made it on a Weber turned out great. Thanks for sharing.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

[@kevinbuss3705]

Ha! I just told my wife that I'm going to try and find a Huli Huli recipe and give it a try..... Great timing Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Kevin Buss That is great timing Kevin! I'm pretty certain, ya'll are going to enjoy this :)

[@mr.sofrito1279]

looks amazing!! you didn't mention if you leave the air vent fully open or cracked open? just curious!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Justin Cervantes The vent is suppose to be set for your elevation, and left in that position. For sea level I have it set 1/4 way open.

[@lucywapen4375]

Great video. Can I used huli huili sauce on barbacue ribs or beef 🥰🥰❤️❤️

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes you can!

[@nCon808]

What temp did you cook the chicken at and how long total?

[@keithbettag598]

hey rus,,,,great lookin yard bird here,,,,actually we gotta do a cook for my sisters birthday next month an this is one of the things on the menu,,,,,,hope it turns out as good as urs looks,,,,,,,keep on rockin dude

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

keith bettag Thank Keith! Ya'll are going to love these flavors. Brother, it is a different chicken for sure!

[@GuillermoGonzalez-yy5qm]

I made this chicken the other day on a grill and let me tell you I had people licking the plate. The sauce and spices are delicious.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Guillermo Gonzalez Glad you tried it. It's one of our favorite ways to do chicken now

[@yossisourugeon9719]

Hello, looks great. What temprature should I aim for when I do this recepie? Thanks and greetings from Israel!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yossi Sourugeon Between 275 and 300 F. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it :)

[@kulupingerzi]

Dang that chicken looks so darn gorgeous. Mouthwatering. 👍

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching!

[@rootboycooks]

Great recipe! I am going to do this on the rotisserie! Rock On Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

The Root Boy Cooks ! Thanks Sal! This would be a perfect recipe for your rotisserie

[@notsoserious0944]

I saw huli huli in Cook's Country awhile back but never tried it. You are going to get me in trouble...I can't hide a PBC from my wife and she is going to complain until she eats the chicken. You definitely earned a sub!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+notsoserious09 Lol, you will love the PBC, and your wife will love the chicken! Thanks for subbing :)

[@oldschoolfool]

I can't wait to try this recipe. Question; was your cook time slightly over two hours? Cook for 1 1/2 hours, baste than cook another 15, baste again and cook for another 20-25 minutes? Thank you

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+M Russell The recipe and instructions are in the description box below the video. Just click on "Show More" I would still use a instant read thermometer when you believe they are completely cooked to verify the internal temp is at minimum 165F

[@Philipp1974]

this chicken looks so delicious! i will give it a try!!! thx for your videos.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Philipp1974 Thank you! Excellent flavors, and I'm sure your going to love it :)

[@Z4thura]

Such a disappointment this Pit Barrel isn't sold in the UK, I'm convinced there's a huge market for it! Keep up the great videos!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

James Gray Hopefully they will expand to the UK soon! You should contact the company and express that :)

[@Z4thura]

I did that very thing yesterday fella, the Vice President got back to me and said they're considering expansion but no current plans. :( Bad times! So difficult to get a good BBQ over here!

[@drunkphatandlazy6163]

I want to try this on my WSM, do you think it will work?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

drunkphatandlazy You can make this recipe in any grill, but you will have to flip them from time to time unlike with the PBC because the chicken hangs and it's cooking all sides evenly at the same time

[@Kimmie0323]

Hey Rus! That looks great and gives me an idea for the 4th. Could I do that on our gas grill?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Kim Mozingo Thanks so much Kim! You can do this on a gas grill, but you may want to put a little smoke box (Lowes or Home Depot) over the heat to supply the mesquite smoke for the ultimate flavor. I purchased one a few weeks ago, made out of cast iron. Just a little smoke box, that you can also add water to for humidity to keep your chicken moist.

[@Kimmie0323]

Gotcha! Thanks Rus so much.

[@YoMoma777]

What temp does that pit barrel cooker you have there run? I will use a WSM and I notice you never mention the cooking temp.Chicken looks great! Cant wait to make my own.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+YoMoma777 Runs around 275 and I've never seen it hit over 325. I didn't mention the temp because it can't be adjusted. It is what it is, and it works as long as you load and light the charcoal as recommended which is sort of a minion style. Burning from the top down

[@DennisJosefsson]

Looks fantastic, very nice.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Dennis Josefsson Thank you Dennis, and thanks so much for watching :)

[@BadBeastBarbecue]

Rus, great looking yard bird. That Pit Barrel Cooker seems to be a beast for smoking food. Great video, wonder how that Huli Huli sauce would taste on some pork, May have to try that. Outstanding cook my friend.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Bad Beast Barbecue Thanks Daryl, and I'm still blown away how well meat turns out in this cooker! Very very happy with it :) The huli huli sauce would be awesome on pork!

[@fly1327]

I still haven't gotten a PBC, and I don't know why! I've heard it's a rib machine, a chicken machine, and just maybe a brisket slayer (still looking for more brisket cooks). Such a simple cooking approach!

[@farmtocook5984]

What type of Pit Barrel Cooker do you use? Where can I buy one? I like the way the results look.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Jeremy Tima It's made by the Pit Barrel Cooker company. www.pitbarrelcooker.com

[@johnholla1]

you killed it brother! very nice job!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

***** Thanks brother! I appreciate it :)

[@frankieliles3652]

how is the skin is it crispy or rubbery like sometimes happens when you smoke chicken at a lower temp?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Skin was not rubbery at all, and the bite is great on it. Not really crispy because of the sauce. I'm pretty certain you will enjoy it

[@TheReapersSon]

I'm about to own a PBC.... I love pork shoulder and ribs, but I'm gonna start out with a chicken to get the hang of it! Yours looked great. I will be trying this same recipe soon. Cheers, brother!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Man, that looks good Rus! I might give that a shot.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

TosTinMan EasyCooking Thanks Jim! It's worth making for sure ;)

[@mortAmigo1955]

Russ, what temp was the cooker running?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

A PBC typically runs between 275 to 325 F, but in my experience it seems to run closer to the 275.

[@TessCooks4u]

Rus, Yes, the chicken turned out juicy and the sauce....oh my goodness.. Love huli huli chicken. Great job. :)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Tess Cooks 4u Thanks Tess! We just loved this chicken! Such awesome flavors

[@DonChua]

any thing to use as a replacement for the barrel?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

***** You could use any charcoal grill, with mesquite wood for smoke, but you will have to keep turning it from one side to the other every so often, unlike the Pit Barrel Cooker, where it cooks all sides evenly at the same time by hanging

[@DonChua]

Thanks for the tip!

[@davidsteen7942]

It was spot on delicious!! Perfect my friend! PBC is very hard to beat too!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+David Steen Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not much of a chicken lover, but this recipe was really good, and the family loved it as well :)

[@missglass101]

I love this recipe. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing Russ.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

It's really good and most people that have made it, always come back and tell me how much they enjoyed it.

[@angiebfromthed7325]
