• While the chicken marinates, put the cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to coat evenly and let it stand for 30 minutes. When the cucumbers have started turning translucent, grab use your hands to squeeze out as much water as possible. The more water you squeeze out, the crunchier the pickles will be.
• To make the sauce, add the miso, ground sesame seeds, yuzu juice, and water to a bowl and whisk to combine.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Get a charcoal grill going and grill the chicken, skin side down, until the skin is golden brown and crisp. If the chicken starts burning, move it over to the cooler side of the grill. Flip the chicken over and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and chop it into chunks.

SARASOTA'S SESAME GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Marinade -- Mix everything except the sesame seeds in a measuring cup. Pour 1/2 or a bit more into the baggie and save the remaining amount to use as a glaze as the chicken grills. Put the marinade in a baggie and then add the chicken. Toss to coat well and just let it go. 4-8 hours is idea. I prefer 8, but even 1 or 2 will give it some good flavor. This will also work with bone in thighs as well, and for that matter, pretty much any cut of chicken, but I just love the dark meat of the thighs for this.
• Grill -- Just grill the the chicken on medium high heat to get good grill marks but don't let it flare up. I like to use the marinade to baste a few times as the chicken grills.
• Sesame seeds -- as the chicken grills, add the seeds to a small dry skillet and just cook 1-2 to minutes to lightly toast. That is all you need. Now, I put them in a small bowl so I can coat the chicken with them.
• Finishing the chicken -- The last minute, brush lightly with the marinade flip once and then remove from the grill. Just using tongs. I lightly dip the top of the thighs into the toasted sesame seeds. Not too heavy, just a light topping. And they are done.

• Place several peices of the chicken into a ziploc and pound until thin - about 1/2" thick.

• Marinate no longer than 2 hours and as little as 1/2 an hour.
• Pull the chicken out of the bag - do NOT discard the onions.

• While the chicken is grilling drain the onions discarding the marinade and saute them on the stove top or over the grill in a vegetable basket.
• You shouldn't need any oil there will be plenty coated on the onions.
• This will take about 15 minutes.

• The onions will be spicy with the chopped pepper in them.
• We serve the onions over the chicken.
