Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drain the pineapple juice from the can to use in the sauce (it should be about 3/4 cup juice total). Save the pineapple chunks for later. Combine the pineapple juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small sauce pot. Stir until everything is well combined and the cornstarch is dissolved. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil and becomes thick and glossy. Turn the burner off and add the pineapple chunks to the sauce.
- Coat a small casserole dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken thighs in the dish so that they are not overlapping. Pour the pineapple teriyaki sauce over the chicken, allowing some to get under the chicken pieces.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Top the chicken with the sliced green onions. To serve, scoop one chicken thigh plus pineapple pieces and sauce over a bowl of cooked rice.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken thighs so that they have enough space to brown evenly.
- Make sure the chicken thighs are cooked through before adding the pineapple and sauce. You can check this by cutting into the thickest part of the thigh and making sure that the juices run clear.
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the skillet.
- The sauce is thickened with cornstarch, so be sure to whisk it constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from clumping.
- Serve the chicken thighs over rice or noodles, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Conclusion:
Teriyaki pineapple chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple and teriyaki sauce add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
