Marinate boneless chicken thighs in low-sodium soy sauce, coconut milk, pineapple juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic for 2–8 hours in the refrigerator. Remove and pat the surface dry. Smoke around 275°F. Add pineapple near the end and use a hotter finish if caramelization is desired. Serve with coconut rice, lime, and cilantro.
