Black and white sesame seedsfor garnish (optional)
Instructions
Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut through the middle of the length of each chicken thigh to create two long strips. (This step can be done before or after marinating if you are short on time.)
Place the chicken thighs into a casserole dish.
Mix the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and brown sugar until well blended. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours to overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Thread the chicken thighs on bamboo skewers. Two chicken thighs will fit on each strip. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway and basting in the juices.
Prior to serving, brush the skewers with any remaining pan juices
