Sticky Sesame Chicken
Sticky Sesame Chicken features tender boneless thighs baked in a glossy honey–soy glaze brightened with lemon and finished with nutty sesame seeds. The result is a sticky-sweet, salty, and lightly tangy main that’s great for weeknights yet satisfying enough for casual gatherings. Serve with rice and greens to soak up the caramelized pan sauce.
