Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup passion fruit nectar
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 8 California chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Green onions, finely minced, for garnish
• Fresh pineapple, sliced, for garnish

Method

Add pineapple juice, passion fruit nectar, peanut oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and allspice in a nonreactive baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken and mix well. Add chicken thighs and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 2 hours in refrigerator. Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill thighs, skin side down for about 10 minutes. Turn chicken and place on side of grill (or cooler part) and close cover of grill. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Garnish with green onions and fresh pineapple slices.
