Grilled Sesame Chicken Recipe-February 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Sesame seeds give grilled chicken a crunchy difference your family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Serves 4; 3 ounces chicken per serving

　　Cooking spray

　　4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat discarded

　　Paprika to taste

　　Cayenne to taste

　　1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

　　1/4 cup honey

　　1 tablespoon dry-roasted sesame seeds

Step 1

Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan and rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.

Step 2

Lightly season the chicken with the paprika and cayenne. Set aside on a large plate.

Step 3

In a small microwaveable bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 1 minute, or until the honey is dissolved.

Step 4

Pour 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice mixture into a small bowl. Stir in the sesame seeds. Set aside to use as the sauce.

Step 5

Coat the chicken with about 3 tablespoons of the remaining lemon juice mixture. Reserve the rest for basting.

Step 6

Grill the chicken or broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 minutes, basting the top side occasionally with the reserved basting mixture (not the sauce). To prevent transferring harmful bacteria, wash the basting brush after each use. Turn the chicken over and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, basting occasionally. Serve the chicken topped with the reserved sauce.
