Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice fresh or canned

  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Chicken

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
