Go to seed, in a good way, with a dish that celebrates all things sesame. The black and white seeds give chicken thighs a delectable texture, boosting the sweet-and-savoury sesame spices that imbue the meat as it sears to tender.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. In the final min., sprinkle with the sesame seeds, flipping the chicken at least twice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; halve lengthwise (quarter if large). Peel and mince the ginger. Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top. Roughly chop the kimchi.
Roast the bok choy
On a lined sheet pan, toss the bok choy with ⅔ of the ginger, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, flipping and drizzling with ⅔ of the honey halfway, 5 to 7 min., until tender.
Make the kimchi mayo
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayo, kimchi, white bottom of the scallion, remaining ginger and honey, and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken and bok choy between your plates. Garnish with the green top of the scallion. Serve the kimchi mayo on the side. Bon appétit!
