Grilled Chicken Thighs with Summer Corn Salad

Be the first to rate & review!

Chicken thighs are easy on the budget and great for grilling because they stay moist in the heat. Here, they are paired with a fresh corn and tomato salad for a simple summer dinner. When grilling skin-on chicken thighs, watch for flare-ups. Move the chicken away from the flames and reduce heat, if necessary, to keep it from charring.

Ingredients

4 large bone-in chicken thighs (1 3/4-2 pounds), trimmed of visible fat
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 ½ cups corn kernels (from 3 ears corn)
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
3 scallions, sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

Preheat grill to medium.
Brush chicken with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle all over with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down, and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 23 to 28 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add corn, tomatoes, scallions and basil. Toss to coat. Serve the salad with grilled chicken.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
