Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle

Ingredients

  • 1 cup parsley coarsely chopped
  • 1 bunch scallions tops only
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Oil

Instructions

  • Place the parsley, scallions, and garlic in the food processor and process until chopped.
  • Add the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper and process until combine
  • Place 2 tablespoons (a total of ¼ cup) of the sauce in two separate containers.
  • Marinate the chicken with the remaining sauce. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

Blackstone Griddle

  • Preheat one side of your Blackstone griddle to 450° F, about medium-high, and the other side to low.
  • Cook the chicken on the warmer side for 5 minutes and flip. Brush with the sauce from one of the reserved containers. Cook another 4 minutes until both sides are brown.
  • Move the chicken to the cooler side of the griddle, and cook for another 5 minutes until an instant-read thermometer registers 160° F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. (This will allow the internal temp to reach the recommended 165° F.)
  • Serve with the remaining sauce.

Grill

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high.
  • Oil your grill rack and grill the chicken for 10 minutes over direct heat, basting and flipping halfway through.
  • Move the chicken to indirect heat, and cook for 7 to 9 minutes longer, until an instant read thermometer registers 160° F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with the remaining sauce.
