PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Place the chicken, skin side up in a snug oven safe baking dish.

In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar.

Pour the marinade on the chicken and make sure that each piece is coated. Season with freshly ground pepper.

Bake until the thighs are browned and cooked through, 30-40 minutes, based on size.

Half way through, rotate the baking dish and brush the skin with the sauce in the pan.

When crispy and cooked through, remove from the oven, drizzle on the sesame oil and a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Garnish with green onions if desired.
