 2 Sake
 5 Lemon juice

Toast the sesame seeds without any oil. Then set aside. Cut the chicken into large pieces, preferably from the thigh, as it tends to be more tender. Put all the liquid ingredients in a bowl and mix.

Add the meat, which should marinate for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator. Before placing it in the fridge, toss in the sesame seeds and mix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

    Excellent! I replaced the sugar with honey. Skewers cooked on the grill, a delight! This sauce has become my go-to sauce!
