Chimichurri Thighs and a Tomato Salad

in EggHead Forum
Marinated some bone in thighs in some fresh Chimichurri for about 2hrs.  2 thighs still had skin as a test to see how they absorbed the flavors 



Next up the thighs get seared in the CI for some color and texture 



Then slow roasted on the large at 350° raised indirect till they hit 185°


Then plated with a tomato,red onion and butter lettuce salad and a lemon vinaigrette 


Flavors were great on both the skin on and skinless thighs and the tomato salad was a great fresh bite of goodness

    Great cook and outcome.  Love Chimichurri and props for making your own.  If you had to choose, skin or skin-less for the flavor win...

    Thanks guys 

    @lousubcap - I would have to say bone in skin off would be my favorite.  The skin tasted good but to me that’s where the flavor disappointedly disappeared.  

    As to the Chimichurri - it was a small batch that prolly only took 10mins or so to finely chop and mix the ingredients.

    Pretty sure I’m stealing this :)

    we have a few pool parties planned for the summer, and I’ve been thinking of potential menus. This would be great.

    The mail system around here sucks.  Sorry man but that invite left 3 days ahead of cook day just to give you time to get here.

    I would be most honored if you steal/poach one of my cooks.  Let me know if you proceed.
