Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Create the Flavorful Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create a luscious marinade that will infuse your chicken with island-inspired flavors.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zipper bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the Grill: When you’re ready to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Brush with Remaining Marinade: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with some of the reserved marinade.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Pair with coconut rice or a fresh garden salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
