Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by tenderizing 3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet until evenly flattened.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F to 375°F. Remove chicken from marinade and set aside marinade. Cook chicken on grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Pour reserved marinade into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush chicken with the simmered marinade.
  6. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking dish, drizzle with remaining thickened marinade, and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Serve over a bed of sticky rice.
