Spicy Grilled Chicken with Crunchy Fennel Salad

Ingredients for Spicy Grilled Chicken with Crunchy Fennel Salad

• 675g skinless, boneless chicken thighs

• Sal kosher

• 2 dentes de alho

• 3 filés de anchova em óleo (opcional)

• 1 red chilli (such as Fresno or Holland), seeds removed, coarsely chopped

• 2 colheres de sopa de extrato de tomate

• 2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano

• 80ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for grilling

• 2 lemons, halved

• 2 medium fennel bulbs, tough outer layers removed, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise

• 1 small white onion, very thinly sliced into rounds

• 2 colheres de sopa de vinagre de arroz sem tempero

• 1 tablespoon toasted white and/or black sesame seeds

Pat chicken dry and season with salt. Set aside on a plate.

Smash garlic under the flat side of a chef’s knife on your cutting board. Add anchovies, if using, chilli, and a couple of pinches of salt and continue smashing with the side of your knife until a paste forms. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Transfer paste to a large bowl and stir in tomato paste, oregano, and 45ml oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat. Clean and oil grate. Grill chicken, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

While the chicken is cooking, grill lemons, cut side down, until lightly charred and starting to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

Transfer chicken to platter with lemons and let rest 5 minutes.

While the chicken is resting, toss fennel, onion, and vinegar in a medium bowl; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with a big pinch of salt and toss once more.

Mound fennel salad next to chicken and sprinkle sesame seeds over both. Squeeze grilled lemons over chicken and fennel salad.
