Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a deep, oven-safe dish with aluminum foil.

  2. Mix chicken broth, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, and garlic together in a small bowl.

  3. Place chicken in the prepared dish. Pour sauce over chicken and turn until fully coated.

  4. 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).

  5. Sprinkle remaining sesame seeds over chicken before serving.

Recipe Tip

You can use skinless chicken thighs, if preferred.
