Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade for basting.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or bowl, pour the marinade over the chicken, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium heat, oil the grates, and grill the chicken for 30–35 minutes, turning and basting with the reserved marinade until cooked through and caramelized.
Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired before serving.

You can also bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40–45 minutes, basting halfway through.
