This recipe and others can be found in the article "In Hawaii, Barbecue Means a Luau" by Mike Stines, Ph.B.

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken

For the huli sauce:
3/4 cup dark soy sauce (shoyu)
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar (Hawaiian cane preferred)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste
Coarse kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Split the chicken down the backbone, removing backbone but leaving the halves attached at the breast.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ketchup, ginger, chile paste, salt and pepper. 

Place the chicken in a large zippered storage bag and marinate, refrigerated, at least 4 hours.

Roast the chicken over medium-high direct heat, turning and marinating often, for about 1 hour or to an internal thigh temperature of 175° F.
