Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper.
Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Reserve some marinade before adding chicken to use as a basting sauce.
Great served with rice and grilled pineapple.
Can be made with chicken breasts, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
