Directions
Step 1
Shuck the cobs of corn. Cut avocados in half; discard pits but leave peel on. Cut red pepper in half; remove stem and seeds. Brush the veggies and cut-side of the avocado halves with canola oil. Place on medium-high heat BBQ, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. This takes 3 to 4 min. for the avocado and 12 to 15 min. for the corn and pepper. Transfer to bowl or chopping board.
Step 2
Meanwhile, grill chicken thighs skin-side down 2 to 3 min., then pivot thighs a quarter turn (or 90°) to make cross-hatch marks on the skin and grill another 2 to 3 min. Turn over chicken pieces, continue grilling until browned, 10 to 12 min., or until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Rest chicken 5 min.
Step 3
To make the salsa, cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Finely dice the avocado halves (simply cut into the avocado halves while still inside peels, then tip out diced pieces). Finely dice the grilled pepper. Place corn, avocado, red pepper in a bowl along with diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime zest and juice, honey, garlic powder, cumin, salt and black pepper. Mix gently; set aside.
Step 4
To serve, arrange the BBQ Whisky Chicken Thighs on plates or platter and top generously with the salsa, with extra in a dish for passing.
