Easy Eats Pineapple Soda Marinated Chicken Thighs
You caught me on a good day.
I’m handing over my secret weapon for the ultimate marinade, the one with a surprising ingredient that delivers insane caramelization, tangy sweetness, and tenderizes everything it touches.
This magic works on chicken, pork, steak, or even vegetables.
And a pro tip: reserve some marinade to reduce into a glazy, incredible finishing sauce.
This Easy Eats marinade creates the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami.
The chicken becomes incredibly tender and chars beautifully on the grill, with a sticky, caramelized crust and a flavor that’s anything but ordinary.
It’s a dead-simple method that delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.

If you just found my page, you’re in for a treat because I’m about to give away my secret chicken marinade. Go hit that save button because it’s not just great on chicken, it’s great on pork as well. This marinade gets some sweetness and some citrus notes from a secret ingredient. I’ll show you here in a second. One of my ideal dinners is just some grilled chicken skewer, some tortillas, a side dish, and some great sauces. And this marinade literally goes with just about anything. The marinade starts with some fish sauce, some brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, a little kosher salt, and some fresh garlic. My secret ingredient for this marinade is some pineapple soda. Not only does it add citrus notes and some sweetness, it caramelizes really, really well on the grill. I’m using chicken thighs today and I sliced them up about 1/4 in thick. Place in the marinade for a minimum of 2 hours, but go as long as you can. Throw those onto the hot side of the grill for about 10 or 15 minutes. Uh, you can do these in the air fryer as well. Plated them up with a roasted sweet potato and corn pablano salad. You can find that recipe on my page. I’m put the full recipe for this marinade down in the description.
