Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Make the rub: Combine the sesame seeds, lemon zest, thyme, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a spice grinder; pulse until the seeds are slightly cracked. Season the chicken with salt and all but about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the rub. Set skin-side down on a broiler pan and broil, flipping the chicken and rotating the pan halfway through, until the chicken is golden and a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Make the dressing: Mix 1 tablespoon of the reserved rub, the lemon juice, vinegar, and salt to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. When the chicken is done, whisk 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings into the dressing. Add the lettuce, cucumber, tomato and pita chips; season with salt and pepper and toss. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon rub and serve with the salad.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH LEMON SAUCE
If you like lemons or lemon flavored foods you will love this. It is always a big hit. I do not mix everything together at once since I have very picky eaters at home. Instead, I place the chicken, linguine, and sauce all in separate bowls and allow everyone to mix their own amount of elements together.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in a shallow roasting tin, drizzle over the oil and season well. Roast for 25 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Tip the cornflour into a bowl and whisk in the lemon zest and juice until any lumps disappear. Add the honey, soy and sesame seeds and mix again.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Pour over the sauce, making sure every piece is well coated - it will still be very runny at this stage. Return to the oven for another 8-10 mins, spooning the sauce over the chicken every 2-3 mins as it thickens. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water and scrape any sticky bits from the bottom of the tin. Serve with noodles or rice, and veg, with the extra sauce poured over the top.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh lemon juice and zest, flavorful chicken, and a good-quality sesame oil will make all the difference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Make sure the sauce is thickened before adding the chicken back to the pan. This will help to coat the chicken evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Serve the chicken immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This sesame chicken with lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
