→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1½ pounds boneless and skinless chicken thighs
02 -
1 cup soy sauce
03 -
1 cup packed brown sugar
04 -
1 cup pineapple juice
05 -
4 cloves chopped garlic
06 -
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
# Instructions:
01 -
Get started by placing those juicy chicken thighs in either a large bowl or a gallon-sized Ziploc bag - whatever you've got handy!
02 -
In a medium bowl, let's create that mouthwatering marinade! Mix together your soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, and ginger until that sugar is completely dissolved into this beautiful blend.
03 -
Pour your freshly made marinade all over the chicken. If you're using a bag, squeeze out the air before sealing it up. Bowl users, wrap it tight with plastic! Now, let it hang out in the fridge - 4 hours will do, but overnight will give you the best flavor.
04 -
When you're ready to cook, grab the chicken but hold onto that marinade! Pour it into a saucepan and let it simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it reduces slightly and becomes food-safe.
05 -
Fire up that grill to medium-high heat! Throw your marinated chicken on there and brush it with some of that hot marinade. Give it about 6-8 minutes per side until you hit that perfect 165°F internal temp and get some nice char marks.
06 -
Place your grilled chicken in a baking dish, pour over the remaining hot teriyaki sauce, and serve it up while it's nice and hot!
