1. Preheat oven to  425°F
2. Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and orange juice in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
3. Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Take off heat and allow to cool.
4. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into an oven proof pan/skillet or baking dish and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
5. Bake 30–45 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
6. Change oven settings to grill/broil on medium heat and grill until the skin changes to deep golden in color (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle with sesame seeds before broiling.
7. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes. Serve with spinach and sesame seeds or steamed bok choy, shallots/green onion slices.
