Sesame Chicken Thighs Recipes

Steps:

• Mix chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a large skillet over medium heat. When mixture starts to sizzle, add chicken and bring to a boil.
• Turn down the heat and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a serving platter, leaving remaining sauce in the skillet.
• Turn heat to high and cook until sauce becomes a thick glaze. Remove from heat and pour over chicken. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

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:

• Whisk flour with a pinch each of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in a separate dish. Stir together panko, sesame seeds, and thyme in a third shallow dish. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and coat with panko mixture, patting to adhere.
• Pour enough oil into a large skillet to come about 1/4 inch up sides. Heat over medium-high until a panko crumb dropped in sizzles instantly. Add cutlets in a single layer (work in batches, if necessary); cook until undersides are golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes (if browning too quickly, reduce heat). Flip and cook until second side is brown and chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Season with salt and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Pour 1/2 cup sauce (save remaining sauce for another use) in a zip-lock plastic bag; add in the chicken; seal bag and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the broiler; remove chicken from marinade and arrange it on a broiler pan, skin side down (if the chicken still had skin).
• Discard marinade.
• Broil the chicken until brown and crispy, 8-10 minutes, then turn the pieces over and broil until almost cooked through, about 8 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the sesame seeds and cook until the seeds turn golden brown and the chicken is done, 1-2 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Combine barbecue sauce, honey and lemon juice.
• Rinse and pat dry thighs, salt and pepper lightly, place meaty side down in a shallow baking pan.
• Keep thighs from touching.
• Brush with half the sauce.
• Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, uncovered.
• Turn over, brush with the rest of sauce, bake for 30 minutes more.
• Place on serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
