Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 4 pounds skin-on chicken pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt, or as needed
• 1 (1/2 inch) piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season chicken with salt on top of and underneath the skin. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Pulse garlic and ginger in a food processor until combined. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken broth, pineapple juice, and rice vinegar; process until well combined. Strain marinade into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove all liquid. Discard pulp.

Step 3

Blot chicken with paper towels to remove excess salt and moisture. Place skin-side down on the prepared broiler pan.

Step 4

Cook under the preheated broiler, turning every 5 minutes, until raw surface have cooked, about 20 minutes. Continue to cook, turning and basting with the marinade every 5 minutes until well browned, another 20 minutes. Cover with foil and cook for 10 more minutes.

Step 5

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
