Mix together soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, sugar & garlic together in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Reserve 2 teaspoons of marinade in a small bowl and set aside for basting later. Season both sides of chicken with fresh ground pepper and place chicken, red pepper & onion in zip lock bag. Pour remaining marinade into bag, turn to coat and then refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
