- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of pineapple juice to the marinade.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or bake it in the oven.
- Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor. Simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
- Serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
