Place thighs in freezer bag with sauce. Remove air and zip closed. Move around with fingers so every piece is nicely coated in bag.
Lay flat in fridge for 1 to up to 4 hours.
Set oven to broil high setting. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with non stick spray.
Lay thighs on top (skin side down if not skinless) and put into preheated oven on rack in the middle of the oven.
Time is for boneless, bone-in would take longer: Broil for 8 minutes, then flip and can sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Broil for additional 8 minutes until top is nicely browned.
Always check internal temperature of thickest piece to ensure it is at 165 F before consuming.
