Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken

Finding a broiled chicken spot in a gas station parking lot was an unexpected delight. We visited Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken on a rainy Hawaiian day, and despite the downpour, the grill was blazing! Their most popular items are the full chicken and the half chicken. I went with the half chicken combo, paired with a side of rice and mac salad--all for just around $10. What a deal! The staff here is no-nonsense and hardworking, focused on keeping the chicken coming out fresh and hot. Within minutes, my half chicken was expertly cut, steaming, and ready to go. And wow, the chicken! It was incredibly juicy, tender, and so flavorful that even the crispy skin was irresistible. Every bite was a smoky, savory delight. Seriously, if broiled chicken is your thing, Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken is a must-try. Oh, and remember they are CASH ONLY. Big shoutout to Ray's for serving up hot, mouthwatering chicken--rain or shine!

An island favorite, broiled chicken by Ray's is a great place for local style chicken. Chicken grilled on kiawe (Hawaiian wood, similar to hickory, burns hot, imparts great flavor) slavor with a healthy dose of local style seasoning. Order the whole chicken plate - it will end up chopped up, just perfect for the family! In addition to the chicken, the seasoning is available for sale - highly recommended to get some. It will be a great addition to your collection of spices when grilling chicken as it's very flavorful and tasty.Open only on the weekends, Ray's is in the open gravel parking lot next to Malama Grocery. Check it out, it's a culinary experience, you will not be disappointed and purchase a few bags of the seasoning to take home.

Best Huli huli type chicken and pineapple coleslaw ever! Goes well together and it is something I crave for from time to time, that I'd make the drive out here from town just to pick some up for myself and the family! Definitely a good food establishment to represent Hawaii. Don't think you could get chicken like this elsewhere. The service I received from Aunty, at this location today was nice, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Wow! Possibly the best broiled chicken ever. Seriously. I think my wife planned our trip to Hawaii just to go here. So delicious. If you want flavorful, juicy, tasty chicken with crispy skin you have to come here.FOOD: Chicken. They serve other stuff like char siu but really you are here for the chicken. And they often sell out so come early. It is just so delicious I can't give it a good description. Rice and pineapple slaw were okay but who cares when you have chicken this good!SERVICE: Good but not great on friendliness. Definitely helpful. Portion sizes though were greatCOST: Well worth it. A whole chicken for $15! Plate lunch for $13 which is half a chicken plus sides. I would order a whole chicken and just make your own rice.

Even though I usually stay in waikiki when visiting hawaii, I always plan on making it out to Ray's truck for the most delicious huli huli chicken on the island. Always go for the full chicken - juicy, hot, and fresh.

The chicken is really good and flavoring is just perfect. Easy to find location with plenty of parking. We would visit again and the people are very nice and responsive with the text.

Wahiawa location change: Now at 130 Plum, off California. Look for the flatbed BBQ trailer. Good plate lunch.

Went to the address that was listed and I found an abandoned gas station with chain link around it.

Oh my gosh what a good decision it was to stop and grab a meal here. We ordered then walked over to the courtyard area by Matsumoto to listen to live music and enjoy our chicken. We ordered a full chicken with sides of coleslaw and rice. Starting with the sides. Rice is simple and I had zero complaints. I will say I'm not a huge coleslaw fan, but I could not get enough of this coleslaw. It had pineapple in it and it was so fresh and light. Now the chicken! I wish I could order chicken from here whenever I'm craving a rotisserie chicken. I think it was the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. Juicy yet crispy and everything you'd want when it comes to flavor. I miss it and I will definitely go back when I'm in Oahu again.

The best Huli Huli chicken hands down. I've tried a lot of Huli Huli places but Rays kills it, the seasoning is spot on and it's cooked perfectly almost every single time. Not much else to tell but really good chicken. Aunty is always friendly when you order and you can get your whole chicken chopped or as is. They've recently moved into the old Dots parking lot in Wahiawa on Tuesday and Thursday, but said theyll open daily once they get another spot.
