Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce

- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and vegetable oil.
- Place the chicken in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Notes
Mixing the marinade well ensures flavors blend. Marinating longer helps the meat taste better and stay juicy. Discard the used marinade to avoid flare-ups and food safety risks. Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes keeps juices inside.
