Chicken in a Barrel

I've passed by Chicken in a Barrel in Wahiawa numerous times, and finally decided to give the place a try - I don't know why I waited so long!

We ended up ordering the Family Barrel Meal, which came with a whole chicken chopped into eighths, and came with rice, mac salad, and cole slaw.   

We subbed Spanish Rice for Rice, and also added a side of Chili, Family Frings (fries and onion rings), and Ribs.

The chicken is cooked in a custom barrel, and it is absolutely delicious.

The chicken was so juicy, and so flavorful!  It had a nice spice rub on the skin, and an overall pleasant smokiness.  The sides were great too.  The Mac Salad was seasoned well, and the Cole Slaw had a nice tang.

I really liked the Frings (of course), and the Chili had a bit of sweetness to it. 

I didn't get to try the ribs, but the fam ate them up!

Chicken in a Barrel is a chain throughout Hawai`i and with locations in Lake Tahoe and Huntington Beach.
