Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth. -
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the remaining half for basting. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight. -
Preheat the Grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used portion. -
Grill the Chicken:
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. -
Rest and Serve:
Let the chicken rest for 3–5 minutes after grilling. Slice and serve over white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and add grilled pineapple slices if desired.
