📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the marinade by combining the pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and black pepper in a small bowl.
garlic (minced)1 clove
2
If the chicken breasts are large, cut them in half. Place the chicken pieces into a zipper sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, seal and massage the chicken to make sure it is covered in marinade. Refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 4 hours to overnight.
3
Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil and simmer for ⏱️ 15 minutes until it has reduced in volume and thickened. Use this as a basting sauce.
4
Heat the grill to medium-high heat (between 400-450°F). Place the chicken, skin side down on the grill for about 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes until the skin is well-marked and crispy. Lower the grill heat to medium, baste the chicken with the basting sauce and flip the chicken over. Close the lid and grill for 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, turning and basting every ⏱️ 5 minutes, until the chicken is almost cooked through. Baste and flip the chicken over again and grill for 5 more minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F on an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
5
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving.
