Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs, bone in (with or without skin), about 2 1/2 pounds

1 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced to garnish

2 cups white rice (optional), cooked

4 Tbs sour cream

Sauce

2 ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 small red onion, coarsely chopped

1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped

1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare the coals for the grill or preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, mix together the coriander, cayenne and salt. Rub the chicken thighs with the spice mixture.

Grill the chicken until it is nicely charred all over and the internal temperature is 160°F when tested with a thermometer.

Sauce

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Put all the sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Adjust seasoning and set aside.

To serve, spoon a bed of rice onto each of 4 plates, divide the sauce among them, arrange chicken thighs on top of the sauce and garnish with avocado slices and dollops of sour cream.
