Cumin-Crusted Chicken Thighs with Grilled Tomatillo Salsa

Ingredients for Cumin-Crusted Chicken Thighs with Grilled Tomatillo Salsa

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• 60ml (60ml /60 ml) canola oil

• 60ml (30g /30 g) Cumin Crust Rub

• 7 large tomatillos, papery husks removed, and cut in half

• 1 jalapeño chilli, halved lengthwise and seeded

• 60ml (60ml /60 ml) fresh lime juice

• 1 ملعقة كبيرة زيت زيتون

• 1/2 cup (20g /20 g) chopped fresh coriander

• ملح كوشير

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and oil. Toss to coat the thighs evenly. Transfer the thighs to a platter and sprinkle evenly on all sides with the cumin rub. Set aside at room temperature.

2. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect grilling over medium heat; the temperature inside the grill should be 350°—191°C (180°—190°C). If using charcoal, bank the lit coals on either side of the grill bed, leaving a strip in the centre without heat, and place a drip pan in the centre. If using gas, preheat the burners, then turn off 1 or more of the burners to create a cooler zone. Brush and oil the grill grate.

3. To make the salsa, place the tomatillos and chilli over the direct-heat area of the grill. (You'll probably need a grill screen for the chilli or you'll lose it through the grate.) Cook, turning as needed, until well charred on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the tomatillos and chilli to a blender, add the lime juice and oil, and pulse until combined but still chunky. Transfer to a bowl, fold in the coriander, and season with salt. You should have about 250g (475ml /500 ml). (The salsa can be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

4. Place the thighs, meaty side down, over the indirect-heat area of the grill. Cook, turning once, until the thighs are nicely grill-marked on both sides and firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh away from bone registers 77°C (77°C), 10—15 minutes on each side.

5. Transfer the thighs to a platter and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve at once with the tomatillo salsa.
