Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

Add olive oil, black pepper, salt, mustard, onion powder, and paprika to the mixture; stir until smooth.

Place chicken pieces in a baking dish and pour the honey mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting with the sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth and cornstarch; stir until smooth and bring to a simmer until thickened.

Serve the chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
