Ingredients

    • 3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

    • 1 cup pineapple juice

    • 1/2 cup soy sauce

    • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

    • 1/3 cup ketchup

    • 1/4 cup chicken broth

    • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

    • Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer in a large baking dish.

    1. In a saucepan, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Heat over medium until it reaches a low boil.

    1. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

    1. Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Stir into the sauce, whisking until thickened.

    1. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce caramelizes. Baste with sauce halfway through.
