    Chicken Thighs Glazed w/Cilantro Chutney


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    8 to 12 skinless chicken thighs (2 to 2-1/2 pounds), skin removed
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    3 tablespoons white vinegar
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 tablespoon peeled and mincedfresh ginger
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup Green Cilantro Chutney
    Shredded lettuce and tomato wedges for garnish

    Recipe



    Make two or three deep 1-1/2-inch cuts on each piece of chicken. Combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and salt and rub it over the chicken pieces, making sure to reach inside the cuts. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least 12 and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.

    About 1 to 2 hours before grilling, add the chutney to the chicken pieces and mix it in with your fingers, making sure that each piece is well covered.

    Grill the chicken over medium-hot coals until it is tender and no longer pink inside, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking. Transfer to a platter, lined with shredded lettuce. Garnish with tomato wedges and serve.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings

    Green Cilantro Chutney

    3 to 5 serrano peppers, to your taste, stems removed
    1 fresh poblano pepper, seeded and cut into 4 to 6 pieces
    2 cups coarsely chopped scallion greens
    3 cups firmly packed cilantro (fresh coriander) leaves, soft stems included
    1/2 cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves
    1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon salt, or to your taste
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    Cilantro or mint leaves for garnish

    In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal S-blade and the motor running, drop the peppers and scallions through the feed tube and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and mint (in 2 or 3 batches, adding more as each batch gets pureed) and with the motor running, pour the lime juice in a fine stream and blend until smooth. Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper and process, stopping to scrape down the sides of the work bowl a few times, until minced. Transfer to a bowl, adjust the seasonings, garnish with cilantro, and serve.

    Makes about 2-1/2 cups
