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.
