Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pounds chicken (legs or thighs preferred)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Create the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, garlic, black pepper, and salt to create a delicious marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken to the marinade and let it soak for at least 60 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor infusion.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure perfect grill marks and excellent caramelization.
- Reserve the Marinade: Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade for basting, ensuring additional layers of flavor while grilling.
- Grill the Chicken: Grill the chicken for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade until fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the finished chicken with chopped green onions before serving to add a vibrant pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For even more flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. You can enhance smokiness by adding a few wood chips to your grill.
