Ok, I am cooking a Hawaiian style bbq chicken dinner, the recipe (for those who may want it) calls for:
6 chicken thighs
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
You marinate the chicken with all the ingredients for about 30 min. Place them on the grill over medium heat, Grill thighs until juices run clear
Easy enough right? Well my problem is, I dont know what sides to cook along with it, any ideas?
