I wanted a sauce for our kalua pork dinner that wasn't as spicy as the sweet and spicy chili sauce I usually make because not everyone loves spicy like I do! This Sweet Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce, also known as Huli Huli Sauce is the perfect mix of savory and sweet goodness. I used the Huli Huli Chicken marinade recipe I have here on the blog as the base because it is sooooooooo delicious. I switched out the chicken broth for some pineapple juice, cooked it down to reduce a little and voila! The best Hawaiian BBQ sauce to use on pork, chicken, or whatever your heart desires. This sauce is easy to whip up in just a few minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Try it the next time you grill chicken or even just over your rice! (It goes perfectly with this 3-ingredient slow cooker Kalua Pork!)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice (Use from a can of pineapple in a pinch!)
- 1/2 tsp chicken bullion powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1-1/2 tsp minced garlic
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk all ingredients together.
- Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Let cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle over your meat!
Pin it!
