  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix pineapple juice, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Put remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag with the chicken thighs; seal the bag. Turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for 8 hours or overnight. Flip the bag once halfway through if possible.
