4pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breasts can also be used)
1cupunsweetened pineapple juice
½cupsoy sauce
½cupbrown sugar
⅓cupketchup
¼cupchicken broth
2tspfreshly grated ginger
1½tspminced garlic
Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside 1 cup of the sauce for basting the chicken later.
Place the chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken, covered, for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, occasionally baste the chicken with the reserved marinade.
Once cooked, remove from the grill and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a bit of extra flavor, try adding a little extra ginger or garlic to the marinade.
This dish pairs well with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
