• tiempo total: 2 minutes

Ingredientes

2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs

4 tbsp butter, melted

Marinade:

1 big handful of cilantro

1 fresh medium lime - zested and juiced

1 Serrano or jalapeño pepper

3 cloves of fresh garlic

1 cup full fat Greek yogurt

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp MSG

1 tbsp roasted and ground cumin

1 tbsp roasted and ground coriander

For the sauce:

1/3 marinade, reserved

1/2 cup Mayo

3 tbsp grated Parmesan or cotija cheese

Instrucciones

Step 1: Place all of the marinade ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 2: Reserve 1/3 of the marinade, and pour the rest over the chicken. Massage it, then cover and refrigerate for as long as you can, preferably overnight.

Step 3: Mix the reserved marinade with mayo and Parmesan to use as dipping sauce. It may be very salty so taste and add more mayo or yogurt if needed. You absolutely should stir in aji Amarillo if you have some!

Step 4: Grill the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165. Brush with lots of marinade as you turn the chicken (use the marinade the chicken was marinated in, not the one you made into a sauce). Two minutes before you pull it off the grill, brush with melted butter.

Step 5: Serve piping hot with cilantro rice, avocado, pico de gallo and the ahi verde-ish dipping sauce. And enjoy!
