Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken, oil, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a zip top plastic bag. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  2. Prepare grill for high / indirect heat. Remove chicken from marinade, place chicken, skin side down, over indirect heat, and grill, covered, until skin is golden and crisp, 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Prepare the grill for medium-high heat. Combine onion and ½ tablespoon of oil on a baking sheet, season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Grill until softened and slightly charred in spots, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Meanwhile, combine scallions and ½ tablespoon of oil on same baking sheet, season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Grill, turning often, until softened and slightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to plate with onion.
  5. Rub cut sides of avocados with 1 tablespoon oil and grill the avocados, cut side down, until charred, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a board with chicken, onion and scallions. Drizzle avocados with oil, season with sea salt, and sprinkle with lime wedges for squeezing over avocados and a side of cilantro vinaigrette for dipping.

Notes

  • Try mashing charred avocado into the best guacamole ever.
