For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken instead of baking it. The smoky char will complement the spices beautifully. Feel free to customize the tahini sauce with a pinch of cumin or a dash of hot sauce for a personalized touch. Serve with a side of pickled vegetables or a refreshing cucumber salad for a complete Middle Eastern feast.
