Green Goddess Chicken Thighs

On the list of truly versatile sauces, green goddess ranks high in my book. Here it acts as a marinade for grilled chicken thighs, which are punctured with a sharp knife to make sure the marinade penetrates all the way through and to increase surface area for more even charring on the grill. I like to go with skinless, boneless thighs, since they’re forgiving on the grill (no skin to get stuck on the grate!). Once they’re done grilling, finish the dish with extra green goddess. Feel free to go wild with whatever tender herb or dairy product you have on hand, just don’t skip the anchovies: They will make the chicken more savory, delicious, and, well, more chicken-y. —Andy Baraghani
