Teriyaki Sauce
- 1⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or crushed with a garlic press, about 2 t.)

- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Remaining Ingredients
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 2 1/2 lb.)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
directions
- Make the sauce: combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour 1/2 cup sauce (save remaining sauce for another use) in a zip-lock plastic bag; add in the chicken; seal bag and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the broiler; remove chicken from marinade and arrange it on a broiler pan, skin side down (if the chicken still had skin).
- Discard marinade.
- Broil the chicken until brown and crispy, 8-10 minutes, then turn the pieces over and broil until almost cooked through, about 8 minutes longer.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the sesame seeds and cook until the seeds turn golden brown and the chicken is done, 1-2 minutes longer.
