Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • Sliced green onions and grilled pineapple rings, for serving

Method
 

  1. Whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and vinegar. Reserve 1/3 cup for basting.
  2. Pat chicken dry, season lightly with salt, and grill over medium-high (400°F) for 5 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved sauce.
  3. Pour the remaining sauce into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in a slurry of cornstarch and cold water and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Transfer chicken to a platter, spoon the thickened glaze over the top, and serve with grilled pineapple and green onions.

Notes

If using bone-in chicken, increase cook time by 15 to 20 minutes and brush with sauce only in the last 10 minutes so it chars instead of burns. The chicken slices cleanly after a short rest.
