Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Steps

  1. Place chicken thighs in a bowl or large resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and mix until sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour marinade over the chicken and seal tightly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Remove the chicken from the bag and set aside. Do not discard the marinade. Pour the marinade into a medium saucepan and bring it to a full boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Pour some of the hot marinade into a separate bowl. Place chicken on a grill and brush some of the cooked marinade over the top. Do not place the brush back in the main bowl of marinade after brushing the chicken. Grill for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side, brushing with the cooked marinade, until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F. Wrap the chicken in foil and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Place chicken in a baking dish and pour the remaining hot teriyaki marinade over the top.
  7. Serve as whole chicken thighs or slice before serving.
