Time 8h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup honey
6 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons mild olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 boneless chicken thighs, about 2 1/2 lb. (on the bone, about 4 lb.)
salt, pepper

Steps:

Marinade:Warm the honey gently in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is quite fluid. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until hey begin to pop. Save about 2 tablespoons of the seeds for garnish and grind the rest in a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Stir the ground seeds, the cinnamon, cumin, oil, and lemon juice into the warm honey.
Place the chicken in a shallow nonreactive container, pour the marinade over it and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
To cook, bring the chicken to room temperature. Heat the grill or broiler. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Thread the boneless thighs onto skewers, 3 per skewer, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill or broil, basting often with the marinade, until cooked through, about 4 minutes each side. Sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds before serving.
