Instructions
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create the teriyaki sauce.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag, pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them, and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
