Cast Iron Grilled Chicken
Cast iron grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook. This grilled chicken is sophisticated enough for a Sunday dinner yet quick enough for a weeknight dinner (after its been marinated). This recipe is all about the marinade and the technique. Cook the thighs skin side down in a cast iron skillet to render out the fat and make the skin crisp and delicious.
