Grilled to perfection, it’s a tropical delight perfect for family dinners, BBQs, or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons mirin (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

  • 2 tablespoons water (if using cornstarch slurry)

  • Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).

  2. Cook the Chicken: Grill on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

  3. Optional Sauce: Transfer leftover marinade to a saucepan. Simmer, and add cornstarch slurry if thicker sauce is desired.

  4. Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Can substitute thighs with chicken breasts, but thighs stay juicier.

  • Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.

  • Perfect with grilled pineapple slices on the side.
