Step 1
In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Add 1.5 lb chicken thighs and toss to coat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook 1 cup rice with 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered until tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through (165°F).
Step 4
Serve the chicken over the coconut rice with grilled pineapple slices if you like.
