Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of unsweetened pineapple juice, 1 cup of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Reserve 1 cup for basting later.
- Place 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
- In a saucepan, pour the reserved marinade and heat over medium heat. Allow it to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes until thickened.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, oil the grates, and thread the marinated chicken onto soaked skewers. Grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes and basting with the reduced glaze.
- Transfer the skewers to a serving platter over a bed of steaming white rice. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the chicken and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes
Opt for boneless skinless chicken thighs for moisture and flavor. Marinate overnight for best results. Soak wooden skewers before grilling to prevent burning.
