TOTAL TIME
1
In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, grated ginger, soy sauce, minced garlic cloves, sesame oil, light brown sugar, Kosher salt, and black pepper.
2
Mix well until the marinade is well combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade for later.
3
Place chicken thighs in a large sealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Make sure the chicken is well-coated. Cover or seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
4
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
5
Remove chicken from the marinade and allow excess to drip off. Arrange the chicken thighs, skin side down, on a baking sheet or cast iron skillet.
6
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and pour the reserved 1/2 cup marinade over them. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and an internal temperature of 165F (74C) is reached.
7
Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning, to get the skin crispy.
8
Remove from the oven and garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
