    Ingredients

    • 0.5 cup soy sauce

    • 0.5 cup brown sugar

    • 0.25 cup ketchup

    • 0.25 cup pineapple juice

    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

    • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs

    Directions

    • In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, pineapple juice, ginger, and garlic to create the marinade.
    • Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken.
    • Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, turning the bag occasionally.
    • Preheat the grill to medium heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    • Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
