Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp sesame oil until the honey dissolves completely.
  2. Step 2: Place 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the glaze is golden-brown.
  4. Step 4: Let rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve topped with 1/4 cup pineapple chunks and 2 tbsp sliced green onions.
