- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
- 1 tbsp grated garlic
- 2 tsp grated ginger
- 2-3 pounds chicken thighs Can use bone-in skin-on or boneless skinless
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1 onion chopped
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit convection.
Combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, garlic, and ginger in a large baking dish. Stir to mix well. Place onion into the baking dish and chicken on top without the pieces overlapping. Add pineapple chunks between (not on top of) the chicken pieces.
Bake for about 15 minutes and briefly remove the dish to baste the chicken with the sauce. Immediately continue to bake until the skin is crispy and a thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit (another 15 minutes).
Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!
