Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make the marinade.
Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, until fully cooked.
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, reserve some marinade before adding raw chicken to use exclusively for basting.
Use chicken thighs for juicier results, but breasts can also be used.
Pair with steamed rice and grilled pineapple for a complete meal.
