Best Grilled Chicken And Corn With Tartar Butter Recipes
GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND CORN
While you could rest grilled chicken on a cutting board to ensure the juices don't run out of the meat when it's sliced, a more delicious option is to place the chicken on a pile of tomatoes, corn and red onion. The seasoned drippings act as a no-effort warm dressing, bolstering the flavor of the vegetables and softening their raw edges. Before grilling, the chicken is rubbed with chili powder, the spice mix that typically includes dried oregano, garlic, onion, cumin and ground chiles, for complex flavor with minimal effort. Fresh oregano, while optional, emphasizes the herbs in the chili powder. Use this technique of resting grilled proteins on fresh produce for many summer dinners: pork chops on peaches, steak on chopped scallions and ginger, sausages on radicchio and halloumi on citrus.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. (You can do this step up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- On a large platter, layer the tomatoes, corn kernels, red onion and fresh oregano (if using). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, and it releases easily from the grates, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill with smaller flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and peeking occasionally for flare-ups.)
- Transfer the chicken to the platter. Let rest for 5 to 20 minutes before serving.
GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED CORN AND SUMMER SQUASH
After a quick turn on the grill, these flame-kissed boneless thighs get tossed with a minty lemon dressing. Corn and zucchini are next up on the grates-and when you platter everything up with the meat on top, the sauce dresses everything.

Steps:
- Heat grill to high. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together lemon zest and juice, garlic, shallot, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped herbs.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Brush grates with vegetable oil. Grill chicken, turning once, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 160°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to dish and turn to coat with lemon mixture; tent with foil. Cover grill; return to medium-high heat.
- Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred in places and squash is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let corn cool slightly, then strip kernels from cobs and transfer to a serving platter with squash, cheese, and herb leaves. Top with chicken; spoon more lemon mixture over top, if desired.
