Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, and ginger. Stir to combine.
- Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try grilling the chicken with the lid closed to lock in heat and smokiness.
- Use bone-in chicken for juicier results!
- Feel free to double the marinade if you like a little extra sauce for dipping.
- If you’re out of pineapple juice, orange juice works as a great substitute.
