- While grilling, baste the chicken with the remaining marinade for a glossy finish.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve your Sesame Ginger Glazed Grilled Chicken hot, garnished with fresh sesame seeds and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
