GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PARSLEY-OLIVE SAUCE
Boneless, skinless thighs are a boon to grilling because they're almost impossible to overcook. Breasts are a bit trickier because they are low in fat and can dry out quickly. But this technique works beautifully for both. If you have the time, dry brine in advance (see Tips). When ready to eat, grill the chicken longer on the first side to get a little color (if the breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them until they're even first), finish cooking on the other side, then plunge it into a bright sauce for up to 30 minutes for added juiciness. The sauce here is made with parsley, olives, chile, lemon juice and small bits of lemon rind for tartness and texture, but adjust flavorings as you wish. Serve the chicken with plenty of sauce, and perhaps a salad, grilled bread or vegetables. (Save some for the next day's lunch, too; the smokiness will develop as it sits.)

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn off one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tips.)
- While the grill's heating, pat the chicken dry. If the breasts are uneven in their thickness, pound until even with a heavy skillet or meat mallet. Set aside to air-dry. In a rimmed dish or wide, shallow bowl, stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, parsley, olives, olive brine and chile. Using the small holes on a box grater, grate 2 teaspoons zest from the lemon. Add to the bowl, squeeze in half the lemon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons juice), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges for serving.
- When you're ready to grill, season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, then lightly coat with olive oil. Take the chicken, sauce, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked in olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the chicken until well browned on one side and it easily releases from the grates, 4 to 6 minutes. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill where there are no flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) Flip and cook until the breasts register 155 degrees in the thickest part and the thighs register 165 degrees, 2 to 3 minutes for breasts and 4 to 5 minutes for thighs.
- Transfer the chicken to the sauce and turn to coat. Let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 30. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Whisk together the olive brine, olive oil, oregano, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice and onions in a bowl. Put the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Evenly coat, press out air, seal and place in a large bowl or dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
- For the salsa verde: Combine the olive oil, olives, parsley, mint, garlic, lemon zest and juice, black pepper and chile pepper if using in a bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare the grill for medium-low heat. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Place on the grill skin-side down and cook slowly until the fat is rendered and the skin begins to turn crispy and golden brown. Flip and continue grilling until the meat registers 155 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 20 minutes total for the smaller breast pieces and 30 for the drumsticks and thighs. Serve with the green olive salsa verde.

GRILLED GARLIC SHRIMP
These grilled shrimp receive a double dose of garlic flavor - fresh garlic and garlic salt. Try not to marinate longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice will start to break down the delicate shrimp meat and make it mushy. Extra large shrimp come 26 to 30 shrimp per pound.

Steps:
- Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.

- Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
