Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • cup pineapple juice
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 4-5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic to create the marinade.
  • Set aside ⅓ cup of the marinade in a small container for basting later.
  • Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in a zip-top bag or sealable container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  • Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Use the reserved marinade to baste the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
