Baked Sesame Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: Laurie Thompson  PHOTO BY: snwdrop 

"Open, sesame! This is a family favorite. For a variation, you can also use bone-in chicken pieces, but be sure to increase the cooking time in this case. Tip: To toast sesame seeds, place in a baking dish in a heated oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully not to burn."
