Grilled Chicken Thighs with Summer Corn Salad

Ingredients

4 large bone-in chicken thighs (1¾-2 pounds), trimmed of visible fat

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

½ teaspoon salt, divided

½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2½ cups corn kernels (from 3 ears corn)

1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes

3 scallions, sliced

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium.
  2. Brush chicken with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle all over with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down, and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 23 to 28 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add corn, tomatoes, scallions and basil. Toss to coat. Serve the salad with grilled chicken.
