Tahini Marinated Chicken Thighs Salad

Adding tahini to the marinade makes the chicken buttery tender without an overwhelming amount of sesame flavor in the finished dish. It also helps the chicken to char nicely on the grill. Tahini-Marinated Chicken Thighs with Cucumber-and-Tomato Salad! So yummy! Just serve it and enjoy this delicious dish in your leisure time!
