Method
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Grilling

- Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred.
- Add pineapple rings to the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
- In a small saucepan, boil reserved marinade for 5–6 minutes until thickened into a glossy sauce.
Assembly
- Spoon cooked rice onto a plate, layer with grilled chicken, top with a grilled pineapple ring, and then drizzle with the glaze. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
