  • 1 can pineapple chunks drained
  • 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or preferably longer in the refrigerator.
Cooking

For an extra touch of flavor, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Adjust honey to your preference for sweetness.
