Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 Chicken Thighs
- ⅓ cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Pineapple Juice
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
- Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on the grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Glaze with Marinade: Bring the leftover marinade to a boil in a small saucepan and reduce for about 5-7 minutes. Brush the grilled chicken with the reduced marinade.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to retain moisture.
Notes
Serve with coconut rice or coleslaw for a delicious meal. Feel free to add a pineapple salsa or grilled veggies as sides!
