Directions

1. 1. If desired, remove skin from chicken. Rinse chicken thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to start cooking.
2. 2. For sauce: In a small saucepan combine the garlic, ginger and sesame seeds with two tablespoons of cooking oil. Saute over medium heat until soft and aromatic. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat till bubbly, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
3. 3. Place chicken, bone side up, on rack of an uncovered grill. Cook directly over medium coals for 40 to 50 minutes or till chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning once halfway through. During the last 10 minutes of grilling, brush sauce often onto both sides of the chicken.
4. 4. Covered Grilling: In a grill with a cover arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken, bone side down, on grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 50 to 60 minutes or till chicken is tender and no longer pink, brushing often with sauce the last 10 minutes of grilling.
