Pour  ¾  of  the  sauce  over  the  chicken  to  coat  the  tops  and  sides  of  each  piece.  Place  the  pan  in  the  oven  and  bake  at  450  degrees  for  20-­‐25  minutes  until  golden,  saucy,  and  cooked  through.  For  even  better  coating,  use  a  spoon  to  baste  the  sauce  from  the  bottom  of  the  pan  over  the  chicken  halfway  through  the  cooking  time.      Serve  the  chicken  on  a  platter  and  drizzle  with  the  reserved  sauce.  Top  with  sliced  green  onion  tops  and  sprinkle  with  sesame  seeds.    Serves  4
