Directions

  1. 1. Grind half of the toasted sesame seeds to a powder and set the other half aside for garnish. Combine this powder in a large bowl with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and about 1/4 cup water.
  2. 2. Make a couple of deep slashes on the skin side of each piece of chicken and add the chicken to the marinade. Let rest while you prepare the grill or refrigerate for up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  3. 3. Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be only moderately hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. (You can broil or roast the chicken if you prefer. To broil, follow the grilling directions; to roast, cook at 450°F for about 30 minutes.)
  4. 4. Discard the marinade and grill the chicken carefully (this mixture will burn easily) starting at the cooler part of the fire and, as the chicken's fat drips less, moving to a hotter part, turning the pieces as necessary to brown them.
  5. 5. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with the scallion and reserved sesame seeds.
