The History of Huli Huli Chicken
Legend has it that the name Huli-Huli came quite by accident. A man named Ernest Morgado barbecued mass quantities of chickens between two grills. When one side of the chicken halves was cooked, someone would shout, “huli,” which is Hawaiian for “turn.”
Morgado liked the name “huli-huli” so much that he registered the trademark with the Territory of Hawai’i in 1958 and the federal government in 1965.
