Charred Ginger-Lime Chicken

We use a broiler to add char to boneless chicken thighs, then toss the just-cooked chicken with a few aromatics. As the chicken cools, it absorbs some of the flavors and its heat slightly softens the sharp notes of the ginger. For a bit of chili heat, use pickled jalapeños; for a little sweetness and vibrant color, opt for red cherry peppers. Serve with a rice or grain pilaf, or cut the thighs into smaller pieces and serve on leafy greens.
