• porções: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 15 minutes
• tempo total: 50 minutes

Ingredientes

1 c. canned unsweetened whole coconut milk

3/4 c. pineapple juice

1/4 c. chili-garlic sauce

1/4 c. fresh lime juice

1/4 c. packed light brown sugar

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp. finely grated peeled ginger (from one 2" piece)

2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 small)

Kosher salt

Vegetable oil, for grilling

1 pineapple, sliced into rounds

1/4 c. packed fresh cilantro leaves

Instruções

In a large bowl, whisk milk, pineapple juice, chili-garlic sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger until well combined. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade and transfer to a baking sheet, letting excess marinade drip back into bowl; season chicken all over with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Reserve marinade.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes. (Alternatively, use a grill pan.) Lightly brush grates with oil.

Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until marinade is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Grill chicken and pineapple, turning once, until chicken is lightly charred in places and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165° and pineapple is tender and lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer pineapple and chicken to a platter, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.
