For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade. Basting frequently helps to create a beautifully caramelized glaze. Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic; reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Squeeze out excess air and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, flipping the bag occasionally to ensure even marination. (8 hours+)
03
StepRemove chicken thighs from the marinade and gently shake off any excess; discard the used marinade. (2 minutes)
04
StepArrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. (25 minutes)
05
StepFlip the chicken thighs and continue to bake, basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (15 minutes)
06
StepLet the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
