Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer in a saucepan for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add cornstarch if using.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry and marinate in half of the sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  4. On the prepared sheet pan, spread the marinated chicken thighs, scatter the vegetables, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle the seasonings.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and veggies are caramelized.
  6. Brush the chicken with remaining sauce during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  7. Optional: Set oven to broil and caramelize for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispy exterior.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions and serve with rice.
