GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACH AND CHERRY SALSA



Grilled Chicken Thighs with Peach and Cherry Salsa image

Toss together a lively peach and cherry salsa, and serve on top of grilled chicken thighs. We wait all year for fresh stone fruit, so take advantage of the abundance and dish up a slightly different take on salsa. Grilling chicken thighs seems to be a bit more forgiving than white meat. The marinade for the chicken is tasty, too!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 4h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 orange, juiced
1 lime, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
1 cup pitted and diced red cherries
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Add olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal and gently squeeze the ingredients together until combined. Add chicken thighs, press out most of the air, and seal.
  • Lay the bag flat in the refrigerator so that the chicken thighs are in a single layer. Marinade for at least 4 hours, turning the bag over every 2 hours.
  • Prepare the salsa before lighting the grill. Combine peaches, cherries, cilantro, jalapeno, red onion, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Toss gently and refrigerate.
  • Clean and preheat a gas grill to medium heat, about 20 minutes.
  • Brush grill grates with olive oil. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill chicken in a single layer until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • For the Perfect Peach Salsa: Select ripe and juicy peaches. This will ensure a flavorful and aromatic salsa. If fresh peaches are unavailable, you can use frozen peaches, thawed and drained.
  • Spice It Up: Add a touch of heat to your salsa by including diced jalapeños or chili peppers. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your taste preference.
  • Fresh Herbs: Incorporate freshly chopped cilantro or mint into your salsa for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: To maintain the tenderness and juiciness of the chicken, avoid overcooking it. Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Crispy Cornmeal Coating: Ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the cornmeal mixture before pan-frying. This will result in a crispy and golden-brown exterior.
  • Serve Immediately: Both the cornmeal chicken and peach salsa are best enjoyed when served fresh. Prepare them just before serving to ensure optimal taste and texture.

Conclusion:

This flavorful and vibrant recipe combines the classic Southern charm of cornmeal-crusted chicken with the refreshing sweetness of peach salsa. The tender and juicy chicken, coated in a crispy cornmeal crust, pairs perfectly with the tangy and aromatic salsa made from ripe peaches, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Whether served as a main course with your favorite sides or as a delightful appetizer, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds. Remember to select ripe peaches for the salsa and avoid overcooking the chicken to maintain its tenderness. Experiment with different levels of spiciness by adjusting the amount of chili peppers or jalapeños.
