Instructions

1. 1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and roast 1/4 cup sesame seeds until lightly browned, stirring or shaking the pan to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. 2. In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup honey, 2 teaspoons orange rind, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup orange juice, 4 teaspoons soy sauce, and 4 teaspoons wine vinegar. Add the roasted sesame seeds and stir well to combine.
3. 3. Place 2 1/2 kg chicken pieces in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
4. 4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in the bottom of a broiler pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
5. 5. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Place the pan under the broiler and brown both sides of the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side.
6. 6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the chicken at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. 7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.
