2 (3 pound) chickens each cut into 8 pieces
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
½ cup soy sauce

4 green onions chopped
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, sherry, ginger, garlic, green onions, and dry mustard to create the marinade.
