# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a bowl, stir together sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and the teriyaki sauce until smooth.
02 -
Put the chicken in a dish or zipper bag, pour that marinade all over it, cover it up, and store in the fridge for a few hours, or just leave it overnight if you can.
03 -
Crank your grill to medium-high and give it a few minutes to get nice and hot.
04 -
Pull chicken from the marinade. Save some of the marinade in a bowl for brushing it on later.
05 -
Lay your chicken pieces on the grill and cook each side for about 6 to 7 minutes. Brush some leftover marinade on while it cooks. Don't take off the grill until it's cooked all through.
06 -
Place those pineapple circles on the grill and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they've got grill marks and smell super sweet.
07 -
Don’t keep or use any marinade that touched your raw chicken. Just pitch it.
08 -
Arrange the chicken on a plate, stack those grilled pineapple slices on top, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion if you want some extra pop.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Leaving that chicken to marinate all night really makes it taste awesome. And using fresh pineapple gives every bite a tangy, sweet kick.
