Marinade:

  • 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

Thickening Agent:

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place chicken thighs in a baking dish.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  3. Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water. Add to the simmering sauce and whisk until thickened.
