Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup soy sauce shoyu
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice* do not use fresh
- ¼ cup rice vinegar apple cider vinegar is good, too
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1-2 tablespoon hot sauce or sriracha optional, for a spicy kick
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 3 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- Oil for the grill
Instructions
- Whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, sesame oil, hot sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large bowl until well combined. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade.
- Add the chicken to the bowl and cover, or pour it all into a large sealable bag. Rub the marinade into the meat. Marinate at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for more flavor penetration.
- Heat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess moisture. Discard used marinade*.
- Grill the chicken 5-6 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade as you go. Chicken is done when it reaches 165 degrees F (74C) internally.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Serve with your favorite sides like macaroni salad, sticky rice or pineapple fried rice, grilled pineapple.
- *Do not use fresh pineapple in the marinade. It contains a natural chemical (bromelain) that tenderizes chicken and can give it an unpleasant mushy texture.
- *The used marinade can be used as a serving sauce, but it must be cooked. To do so, transfer the used marinade to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. It will reduce and thicken. You can swirl in 1 tablespoon cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) to thicken more, if desired.
