Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, and a dash of rice vinegar.
Pat the chicken thighs dry and marinate in half of the prepared sauce for at least 15 minutes.
Arrange the chicken thighs, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through and brushing with remaining sauce in the last 10 minutes.
Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving, optionally garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
