Grilled Chicken and Corn With Tartar Butter image

This entire meal is cooked on the grill and celebrates summer's sweet corn and earthy okra, which pick up a light charred flavor. (Be sure to choose okra that are firm and unblemished.) The tartar butter - inspired by tartar sauce and spiked with tangy pickles, zesty capers and fresh parsley - brightens the smoky grilled chicken and vegetables. Should you have any leftover butter, refrigerate or freeze it for later use: It makes a great topping for baked potatoes, steamed vegetables or roasted cod.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 ears corn, shucked
1/2 pound okra, stems trimmed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
2 tablespoons finely chopped capers
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high and grease grates. (Alternatively, heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high and lightly grease.)
  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken and 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Rub corn and okra with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Skewer okra or place in a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grates during cooking.
  • Working in batches if needed, grill chicken, corn and okra, turning occasionally, until chicken is nicely charred and cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes for the okra and 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken and corn.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine butter, pickles, capers and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Once okra is done, toss with 2 tablespoons of the tartar butter while warm.
  • Divide chicken and vegetables among plates. Slather corn with some of the tartar butter. Serve with lemon wedges and extra tartar butter on the side.
