Baked Honey Sesame Chicken Thighs Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the sauce, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Stir in honey mixture. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a deep, oven-safe dish with aluminum foil.
• Mix chicken broth, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, and garlic together in a small bowl.
• Place chicken in the prepared dish. Pour sauce over chicken and turn until fully coated.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sesame seeds over chicken, and continue to bake until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Sprinkle remaining sesame seeds over chicken before serving.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame seeds, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste if using. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the indirect heat side of the grill, skin-side up. Close the grill and cook until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip and move to the direct heat side of the grill to char on the other side. Cook until the skin is charred and crispy and the chicken is cooked through; the internal temperature should be 160 degrees F, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with the parsley before serving.
