Light up the grill for this peppery chicken recipe. Chicken thighs are ideal for roasting and grilling. Their dark meat is juicy and flavorful and can easily handle a wallop of heat and spice, and they won’t dry out while they cook to crispy perfection.
Fresh red jalapeno peppers deliver the heat in this recipe. Their spice lies primarily in the white membranes that hold the seeds of the pepper. You can adjust the heat to your taste by adjusting the amount of the membrane and seeds you include. Note that peppers can vary in heat, so be brave and take a tiny bite of each pepper to test its heat level, then add or omit accordingly. Avoid contact with your fingers when handling them: Use gloved hands or a paring knife to cut the membranes and seeds away without touching them.
