Huli-Huli inspired Chicken Bites. This super fun Hawaiian treat will have you coming back again and again.
Everyone is gearing up for the big game on Sunday. I think there's a combination of cold weather misery striking the nation right about now, with the reoccurring cold up north and the recent snow causing a standstill in the south, and we all just need a reason to get together and have a good time.
I don't even think it matters who is playing this year or what the funniest commercial is (though this commercial for Jaguar has already made me nerd happy). While you're sitting around hanging out with friends and family this weekend (and I do hope that mother nature holds off for a day or so just to let us get this unofficial holiday in), much on these Huli-Huli inspired chicken bites.
