Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken, coat well, seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
- Choose your cooking method: grill, bake, or pan-sear. Preheat accordingly; for grilling, use medium-high heat and oil the grates, for baking preheat the oven to 400°F, and for pan-searing heat oil in a skillet.
- For grilling, place the marinated chicken on the grill, cooking for 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with extra marinade while grilling.
- To bake, arrange chicken in a greased dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting halfway through until golden and cooked through.
- For pan-searing, cook each side for 5-7 minutes until a caramelized crust forms. Add leftover marinade in the last 2 minutes to glaze.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, slice, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight and avoid overcooking to retain tenderness. Serve with coconut rice or grilled pineapple for a tropical feast.
