• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup ketchup

½ cup soy sauce (shoyu)

½ cup brown sugar

1/2 cup canned pineapple juice* (do not use fresh)

¼ cup rice vinegar (apple cider vinegar is good, too)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1-2 tablespoon hot sauce or sriracha (optional, for a spicy kick)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tablespoon minced ginger

3 pounds chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)

Oil for the grill

Directions

Marinade

Whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, sesame oil, hot sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a large bowl until well combined. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade.

Marinate

Add the chicken to the bowl and cover, or pour it all into a large sealable bag. Rub the marinade into the meat. Marinate at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for more flavor penetration.

Heat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess moisture. Discard used marinade*.

Grill the chicken 5-6 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade as you go. Chicken is done when it reaches 165 degrees F (74C) internally.

Serve and enjoy.
