Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice fresh or canned
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
  2. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  3. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
Serve
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Serve with additional pineapple slices and rice if desired.
