Marinate 1.5 lbs of chicken thighs (bone removed, skin lightly scored) in 1 Tbsp each sherry and light soy sauce, ½ Tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, and some freshly ground black pepper. After 15 minutes, bake in a preheated 425 oven, skin side up, for 20 minutes (warning: at this point, our smoke alarm went off due to the amount of fat burning at high temperatures). Brush skin lightly with sesame oil (about 1 Tbsp), then bake for another 10 minutes, then serve immediately. This recipe is from Harumi’s Japanese Home Cooking cookbook. (Apr. 2015)
