Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🥘🍯

Step 2 — 🍗🧂🖌️

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then generously brush with the BBQ sauce you prepared.
Step 3 — 🍗🔥⏲️

Preheat the grill to a medium heat. Grill chicken, skin side down for 6 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 4 — 🍳🔪🌽

While grilling chicken, sauté corn, bell pepper, and onion in olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 — 🍽️🍗🍃

Plate the grilled chicken and serve alongside a generous spoonful of the Parsley-Infused Corn Relish.

A final fox tip

For those who love a bit of extra heat, feel welcome to add in a chopped jalapeno or a splash of your favorite hot sauce into the BBQ sauce. Similarly, this dish can easily be made vegetarian by replacing the chicken with a hearty portobello mushroom.
