Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar until combined. Heat in a small saucepan for 3-4 minutes.
Pat the chicken thighs dry, coat with half of the sauce, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Spread marinated chicken on the sheet pan, add pineapple, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even cooking and color.
In the last 10 minutes, brush remaining sauce over chicken. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes for a crispy finish.
Remove from oven, garnish as desired, and serve warm.
