Huli Huli Chicken Meatballs
If there were ever a chicken dish born to become a meatball, it’s Huli Huli. Huli Huli Chicken Meatballs take everything we love about that sticky-sweet, flame-kissed Hawaiian classic and turn it into juicy, poppable bites that are weeknight-friendly and party-approved. You still get the glossy glaze, the savory-sweet depth, and that irresistible caramelized finish — just in a fork-friendly, skewer-ready format that practically begs to be shared.
