Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup passion fruit nectar
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on

Preparation method

Prep: 2 hours 15 mins | Cook: 20 mins

Add pineapple juice, passion fruit nectar, peanut oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and allspice in a non-reactive baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken. Mix well.

Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Remove chicken from marinade, discarding the marinade, and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

Grill the thighs, skin side down for about 10 minutes. Turn the chicken and place on the side of the grill (cooler part) and close the cover of the grill.

Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

Garnish with green onions and pineapple slices.
