خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until the sauce is smooth and no lumps remain.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Whisking the cornstarch in with the cold liquids first prevents it from clumping when heated.

3. 3

   Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and arrange them in a single layer inside a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Drying the chicken helps the skin get crispier during baking.

4. 4

   Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken thighs in the dish.

5. 5

   Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Carefully remove the dish from the oven and use tongs to flip each chicken thigh over, spooning some of the pan sauce over the top.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Flipping the chicken ensures it cooks evenly and both sides get coated in the thickening glaze.

7. 7

   Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

   حوالي 28 د

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest in the dish for 5 minutes before serving.

   حوالي 5 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender chicken.

9. 9

   Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds just before serving, if desired.
