Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 medium fresh pineapple peeled and sliced into thick rings
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • 2 Wooden skewers
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Make Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour half over the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours. Reserve the rest.
  2. Prep Base: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place one thick pineapple slice down and insert two soaked wooden skewers vertically into it.
  3. Stack: Thread the marinated chicken thighs onto the skewers tightly, pressing down. Top with another pineapple ring.
  4. Roast: Bake for 45 minutes, brushing the stack with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes

  • If the edges begin to darken too quickly during roasting, loosely tent the top of the stack with aluminum foil.
