Grilled chicken thighs and romaine lettuce with vinaigrette

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • Vegetable oil to grease the grill grate
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small clove of garlic, finely grated
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
  • 8 chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 1.1 kg)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, quartered lengthwise with leaves attached at the base

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grease the grill grate with vegetable oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper generously. While whisking the dressing, slowly pour in the olive oil until smooth and thick. Pour half of the dressing into a small bowl and stir in the parsley and tarragon; set aside. Add the chicken to the remaining dressing in the large bowl and toss to coat.
  3. Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down until lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes. Cover the grill and grill until no longer pink near the bone and a thermometer inserted into the deepest part of each thigh reads 165°F (74°C), about 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  4. While the chicken is resting, grill the romaine lettuce on all sides until the center is tender, about 5 minutes. Place 1 romaine lettuce wedge on each of 4 serving plates; top with 2 chicken thighs and drizzle with the reserved herb dressing.
