Cold Paprika Grilled Chicken With Marinated Bell Peppers Recipes

COLD PAPRIKA-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MARINATED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals over one side of grill and scatter remaining coals over the other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and the remaining burners to medium-low heat). Clean and lightly oil grate. Grill peppers over hottest part of grill, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool.
• While the bell peppers cool, mix paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, then toss chicken pieces in spice mixture to coat. Arrange chicken pieces, skin side down, over hottest part of grill and grill, turning halfway through, until lightly charred, 5-10 minutes. Move chicken to cooler part of grill, cover with lid, and continue to grill, turning several times (keep covered), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F for breasts and 155°F for thighs and drumsticks, 15-25 minutes longer (the chicken temperature will increase about 5°F as it rests). Transfer chicken pieces to a rimmed baking sheet as they are done (smaller pieces will go more quickly) and let cool.
• Remove skins and seeds from bell peppers; discard. Tear flesh into about 2"-wide strips. Toss in a clean large bowl with Master Vegetable Marinade and oregano and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour.
• Toss chicken and marinated bell peppers (minus juices in bowl) together on a platter. Pour juices over chicken. Serve with Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Chicken can be grilled and bell peppers can be marinated 1 day ahead. Cover and chill separately. About 1 hour before serving, remove chicken and bell peppers from the fridge and let sit at room temperature to warm up a bit.

GOOD FRICKIN' PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together yogurt, garlic, 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon hot chile paste, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
• Mix in chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels. Season with salt.
• Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, ketchup, 1/8 teaspoon hot chile paste, pinch paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 4 minutes with grill lid closed.
• Turn chicken and grill with lid closed until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
• Spoon sherry vinegar mixture over cooked chicken and serve.
