I've been wanting to do sesame chicken for a while and experimented once with a honey/sesame oil/salt mixture (it's good!). I found this yesterday I think and thought I'd give it a try.
I followed the ingredients list but the recipe is for a stir fry and I wanted to use the grill instead so I mixed it up a bit.
Instead of fresh ginger (I got some more fresh today) I used powdered ginger, instead of 1.5 cups water I used about 1/4 cup of honey. I used about 1/4 cup sesame oil in the marinade too......
These are 3 split bone-in thighs - -I wanted boneless/skinless thighs but took what they had. (edit: these marinated for nearly an hour - I have another 5 halved thighs still in the marinade)
Flipped at 20 minutes, gave them another 10, then threw on the asparagus (raw, no oil or seasoning) for 3 minutes then pulled everything off.
I'm going to keep working towards another flavor but this is definitely worth repeating.

Sesame Oil Chicken Recipe (麻油鸡)
Ingredients:
3 chicken drumsticks (chop into 3-4 pieces each, bone-in)
2-3 inches knob of ginger (peeled and cut into thin strips)
1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup water
3 dashes white pepper powder
Method:
Heat up a wok over high heat and add the sesame oil. When a swirl of smoke appears from the wok and the oil is fully heated, add the ginger strips and stir fry until light brown or aromatic. Add chicken to the wok and stir fry for about 10-15 seconds before adding the soy sauce, oyster sauce, wine, and white pepper powder. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is 70% cooked. Add water and do a few quick stirs. Cover the wok with the lid and turn the heat to medium to low heat and let the chicken cook for a few minutes or until the sauce thickens and the meat becomes tender. Dish out and serve immediately.
