- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and olive oil to create a delicious marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes for extra flavor.
- Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
