Preparation Steps
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves, then mix in ginger, garlic, and Sriracha. Reserve ½ cup for basting.
- Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Place in a zip-top bag, pour marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C). Remove chicken from marinade, discard used marinade. Grill chicken skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then cook on indirect heat for 25-40 minutes, basting every 5-7 minutes, until internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).
- For oven method, preheat to 375°F (190°C). Arrange chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, baste, flip, and baste again after another 15-20 minutes. Total baking time is 45-60 minutes. Broil for 3-5 minutes for crispiness.
- Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice, macaroni salad, or grilled pineapple.

Notes
Marinating longer enhances flavor and tenderness. Always discard marinade that touched raw chicken.
