Ingredients

Scale
  1. 3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  2. 1 cup pineapple juice
  3. 1/2 cup soy sauce
  4. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  5. 1/3 cup ketchup
  6. 1/4 cup chicken broth
  7. 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  8. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  9. 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  10. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  11. 1 tablespoon water
  12. Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish (optional)
  13. Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)
  14. Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer in a large baking dish.
  • In a saucepan, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Heat over medium to a low boil.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce, whisking until thickened.
  • Pour sauce over chicken, coating thoroughly.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and sauce caramelizes. Baste with sauce halfway through.
  • Let rest a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with pineapple slices, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it’s cooked through.
  • You can also grill the chicken for a smokier flavor, basting it with the sauce as it cooks.
