Tradition and Innovation
Huli Huli Chicken, a beloved local food of Hawaii, takes its name from the Hawaiian word “Huli,” meaning “to turn.” The process of rotating the chicken over an open flame while brushing it with a flavorful glaze gives rise to a distinctly Hawaiian style of barbecue.
We have built upon this Hawaiian tradition with innovations for professional kitchen operation.
Instead of skewering the chicken, our design holds it securely in a rotating basket,
allowing both heat and rotation to be precisely controlled by the machine.
The system is engineered to handle sauces and meat juices efficiently,
translating the signature “Huli” turning motion into a stable, repeatable process for commercial use.
In addition, lava stones are placed above the burners to store and radiate heat (far infrared),
achieving a soft, evenly cooked texture with the authentic flavor of live fire.
Key practical features
High Quality Finish
The continuous rotation keeps the surface changing and allows sauces to be basted repeatedly, making it ideal for creating a beautifully caramelized exterior and a juicy, tender interior.
On Site Operation
Both heat intensity and rotation speed can be adjusted with simple control knobs, allowing flexible pacing to match preparation volume and customer traffic.
Heat Source and Heat Transfer
The lava stones act as a thermal mass, contributing to stable performance during continuous roasting. At high temperatures, they promote sauce caramelization and enhance aromatic flavor development.
3 Reasons Why Professionals Choose it
- A True Approach to the “Turning” Tradition: At the heart of Huli Huli Chicken lies its continuous rotation — the essence of its cooking style. Allowing the roaster itself to control and adjust the rotation speed is the most logical evolution of that tradition.
- Easy Heat Management: By combining adjustable burner output with the heat retention of lava stones, the system maintains stable temperatures even during continuous operation.
- Professional Workflow: The basket style structure allows easy mechanical loading and unloading, streamlining operation for commercial use. Its rounded, open design enhances visual appeal, making it well suited for front of house presentation and live cooking setups.
