In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, tahini, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Add chicken, then cover and place in the fridge for roughly 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Then bake or grill your chicken however you like. Garnish with sliced green onion and additional sesame seeds.

To grill: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F. Grill chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side; chicken is done when a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Time will vary depending on the size of your chicken breast. Get all of my tips for grilling chicken here!If you'd like to bake the chicken, follow the instructions in this guide.
