  2. Pour the mixture over the chicken, turn the pieces to coat evenly, cover and place in refrigerator a minimum of 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan set to medium-low heat and oil the grates so it doesn't stick.

  5. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
