Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F and arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a sheet pan.
Step 2
Brush each thigh generously with teriyaki sauce, coating skin and sides.
Step 3
Roast for 18–20 minutes until skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F in the thickest part.
Step 4
Brush with a second coat of teriyaki sauce straight from the oven, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top while skin is still hot.
Step 5
Rest 2 minutes, then serve immediately.
