# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic until thoroughly blended. Reserve 240 ml of the marinade in a separate container for basting. Cover and refrigerate both portions.
02 -
Divide the remaining marinade evenly between two large resealable plastic bags. Add twelve chicken thighs to each bag. Seal and massage to ensure even coating. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to overnight.
03 -
Drain and discard marinade from the chicken. Moisten a paper towel with neutral cooking oil and, using long-handled tongs, lightly oil the grill grates.
04 -
Arrange the marinated chicken on the preheated grill. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 6–8 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 74°C is reached. During the final 5 minutes of grilling, baste with the reserved marinade, turning once for even glazing.
