How to Make Sesame Sauced Chicken Thighs
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Rinse and pat dry 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Arrange chicken thighs in a shallow baking pan, meaty side down, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Brush chicken thighs with half of the barbecue sauce mixture.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Flip chicken thighs, brush with remaining sauce, and bake for another 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
