Grilled Chicken with Cilantro Red Onion Salsa

Ingredients

    • 1 bunch cilantro, stems removed
    • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
    • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
    • 2 tablespoons minced mint
    • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
    • 1 lime, juiced
    • 1-3 tablespoons Fustini's Chipotle olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

    Directions

    1. Combine balsamic, wine, olive oil, fish sauce, cilantro and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken in a sealable freezer bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Refrigerate and marinate for 2-4 hours.
    2. Set a medium-hot fire on a grill. Place chicken thighs, skin side down, over direct heat. Cook until skin is seared, about 3-5 minutes. Turn and cook 3-5 minutes more. Move chicken to indirect heat, skin side down, and cook through for another 5-7 minutes (about 15 minutes total). Serve grilled chicken with cilantro salsa.
    3. Finely chop cilantro. Combine in a small bowl with jalapeno, garlic, mint and onion. Stir in lime juice and add olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until the salsa comes together.
