Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if you prefer)
  • 1 c unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1/2 c soy sauce
  • 1/2 brown sugar + extra for pineapple
  • 1/3 ketchup
  • 1/4 chicken broth
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger root grated or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 pineapple sliced into spears
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a gallon sized ziploc bag. Reserve 1 cup for basting. Add chicken to bag and marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Heat grill (or grill pan or skillet) to high heat. Slice pineapple into long spears and rub with brown sugar. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, if using thighs, 10-15 if using breasts. Add pineapple to grill in the last 10 minutes of cooking, rotating once. Use a pastry brush to baste with reserved marinade several times in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve with rice or quinoa, green onions, and pineapple.
