Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2½ lbs (1135 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup (48 g) brown sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 g) soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 g) rice vinegar
- 2 tsp (10 g) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp (10 g) minced garlic
- 2 tsp (10 g) minced ginger
- 2 tbsp (30 g) ketchup
- 1 tbsp (15 g) water
- salt and pepper to taste
- sesame seeds optional
For the Rice
- 3⅓ cups (500 g) cooked rice
For the Vegetables
- 2 medium (400 g) zucchini
- 1½ cups (283 g) pineapple frozen is fine
- 1 tbsp (15 g) oil
Instructions
For the Rice
- Cook enough rice to have 3⅓ cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make around 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on what kind of rice you use.
For the Chicken
- In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, water, Worcestershire, garlic and ginger. Stir to combine and reserve about ¼ cup of the sauce for later.
- Place the chicken into the bowl and mix it around to coat. Allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Once the chicken has had time to marinate, place it on a sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces and coat with the sauce that you reserved earlier. Mix to cover.
- Place the chicken back into the oven on the top rack and watch carefully to ensure it doesn't burn sometimes leaving a little crack in the oven door can help. Broiling the meat will help to promote better browning and flavor.
For the Vegetables
- Thaw your pineapple in the microwave if you use frozen.
- Wash and cut your zucchini into a medium dice.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add some oil and sauté the zucchini until browned. Salting it early can help it cook faster.
- Once browned, add in the pineapple and salt to taste.
Plating
- This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your ingredients evenly into your 5 containers. Each dish gets ⅔ cup of rice.

Good flavour on this chicken marinade. The second time I made this I actually opted to partially cook the marinaded chicken in a ripping hot wok with some oil, before removing the chicken and setting aside to pour the marinade into the wok to reduce and thicken. Just before it’s nice and tacky I throw the chicken back in to the wok and coat the chicken and cook through.
Very tasty. Made it for the whole family. Everyone liked it. The kids said the pineapple helped cover the zucchini taste (kids, you know)
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😎
I marinated overnight and it came out good! I accidentally overcooked the chicken though (it dried out because my oven cooks hilariously uneven). I am considering cooking the chicken on a grill instead. Well done on the marinade! The pairing of the pineapple and the zucchini is definitely a winner.
5 lbs of chicken is not enough for 10 servings. 5 lbs made abut 7 servings
Fantastic recipe and very flavorful. I’ve found it cooks much faster and makes the sauce more present if you skip the marinade and just pan cook all of the chicken.
Cut the chicken into 1 inch-ish cubes, brown in the pan for 2-3 minutes, and then just toss all the sauce in the pan with it for another 4-5 minutes until it’s all cooked. Then you can add a bit of flour to thicken the sauce into a gravy.
This makes the rice taste better too and cuts out handling all the drippings from the oven.
I had a tiny bit more chicken then the recipe said to use but this still did not fill me up, unfortunately. All the other recipes so far have been quite filling so maybe I measured something wrong.
