BBQ Chicken with Sesame-Chili Sauce

Submitted by Hey Jude

"Fast and easy recipe for your grill. My family likes the sweet-hot flavors in this chicken. You can make the sesame-chili sauce up to 5 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. I found this in a magazine, don't know which one cuz the clipping is very worn out."

5 stars for the sauce! I used it on some breaded chicken with broccoli and Thai rice noodles. It turned out delicious, even though I didn't have hoison or 5-spice. I used a pinch of cinnamon and black pepper as a substitute for the 5-spice.
