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.
Shirlee, please stick to rating the recipe and don't tell the rest of us how environmentally conscious we need to be - I think we can determine that for our adult selves.
Great recipe, but (and I say this all the time) please stop writing single use ziplock plastic bags into recipes. A reusable tupperware or bowl or deep dish will work fine in the fridge overnight. Please think of the environment and all that plastic waste for no reason.
