Steps:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, garlic, brown sugar, and ginger in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking rack with cooking spray, and place on a baking sheet.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Mix the wheat germ, bread crumbs, sesame seeds, parsley, black pepper, and paprika together in a separate large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag and shake to coat the pieces with the bread crumb mixture; transfer the coated chicken pieces to the prepared baking rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade: The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist during baking. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure the chicken pieces are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Bake the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat.
- Make the sauce while the chicken is baking: This will save you time and allow the flavors in the sauce to develop.
- Serve the chicken immediately: The chicken is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish it with sesame seeds, green onions, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
This oven-baked sesame chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. Serve it with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
