Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Sour BBQ Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, blend together pineapple juice, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 3
Set aside half a cup of this tantalizing marinade for basting later.
Step 4
Next, take the remaining marinade and pour it into a resealable plastic bag along with the chicken thighs.
Step 5
Seal the bag tightly and give it a gentle shake to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 6
For the best flavor, refrigerate the marinating chicken for at least 8 hours or overnight, flipping the bag halfway through if you can.
Step 7
Once marinated, drain the chicken and discard the used marinade.
Step 8
Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven, leaving them uncovered for 25 minutes.
Step 9
Remember to baste frequently with the reserved marinade to keep them juicy and flavorful.
Step 10
After 25 minutes, carefully flip the chicken thighs and continue baking, basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 15 more minutes.
Step 11
To ensure perfection, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
Enjoy the delicious aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare this mouthwatering dish!.
