Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons red chili paste
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups bell peppers (red, yellow, and green, cut into large chunks)
• 2 red onions (quartered)
• 1 zucchini (sliced into thick rounds)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring one side is set up for indirect grilling.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, red chili paste, and minced garlic to create the chili glaze.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables by tossing the bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the direct heat zone of the grill. Sear for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.

Step 7

Move the chicken to the indirect heat zone, brush generously with the chili glaze, and continue grilling for 20–25 minutes, turning and glazing occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken cooks, grill the vegetables on direct heat for 3–4 minutes per side or until nicely charred and tender.

Step 9

Remove the chicken and vegetables from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the chicken thighs over a bed of charred vegetables, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy the smoky, spicy flavors of 'Who by Fire'!
