Servings: persons

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake or dry sherry
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup naturally sweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup sake or dry sherry
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
Vegetable oil, for rubbing the grill grates
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

1
Place the brown sugar, soy sauce, sake or sherry, and garlic in a large resealable plastic bag and stir to combine.
2
Add the chicken, seal the bag (pressing out any excess air), and turn to coat the chicken evenly.
3
Place in the refrigerator and let marinate, turning occasionally, for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
4
Place all of the ingredients except the cornstarch-water mixture in a small saucepan and stir to combine.
5
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
6
Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, about 15 minutes.
7
Add the cornstarch mixture, whisk to combine, and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
8
Divide the sauce equally between 2 small bowls; set aside 1 bowl for serving and the other for brushing onto the chicken while it cooks on the grill.
9
When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
10
Meanwhile, heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 350 degrees F to 450 degrees F).
11
When the grill is ready, rub the grates with a towel dipped in vegetable oil.
12
Remove the chicken from the bag and place it on the grill (skin-side down if using skin-on), cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
13
Flip the chicken pieces, cover the grill, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side, about 5 minutes more.
14
Flip the chicken again and generously brush the pieces using the bowl of sauce set aside for that purpose.
15
Cover the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
16
Flip and brush the chicken, and continue to flip and brush every 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads 160 degrees F to 165 degrees F and the meat near the bone is no longer pink, about 10 to 15 minutes more (about 25 to 30 minutes total cooking time).
17
Remove to a clean serving platter, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and serve, passing the remaining bowl of barbecue sauce on the side.
