Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup pineapple juice
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
Instructions
Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable bag.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, and ginger until sugar dissolves.
Pour marinade over chicken, cover or seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for best flavor).
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the liquid.
Pour marinade into a saucepan and simmer for 5–10 minutes to make it safe and slightly thickened.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, brushing with the cooked marinade, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Transfer chicken to a serving dish and pour remaining sauce over the top.
Serve hot.
Notes
Marinating overnight enhances flavor significantly.
Always cook leftover marinade before using as a sauce.
Great served with rice, grilled vegetables, or noodles.
You can also cook this on a stovetop grill pan if needed.
