Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup fresh pineapple juice
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
Instructions
Place chicken in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, and ginger until sugar dissolves.
Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Remove chicken and reserve marinade. Simmer marinade in a saucepan for 5–10 minutes.
Grill chicken, brushing with the cooked marinade, until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Let rest in foil for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce and serve.
Notes
Use thighs for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Let the chicken rest post-grill to lock in juices.
Double the marinade to save extra sauce for dipping or rice.
