Slimmed Down Huli Huli Chicken

                                                                                        Huli Huli Chicken Lite

You may have noted that Carol posted a link and a rave review for Huli Huli Chicken.  I am sure the original recipe is phenomenal since Carol is a terrific cook and hostess but the chicken thighs and the amount of sugar in the recipe made it a challenge for our current weight loss regime.  It sounded so yummy though that we decided to give a go at lightening it up.  There is nothing I like more in the summer than a grilled meal eaten on the deck.  This turned out to be a great one!
