How to Make Argentinean Garlic Chicken With Corn Tomato And Parsley Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Parsley Sauce:** In a food processor, combine 1 cup packed fresh parsley, 1/2 small onion (roughly chopped), 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped), 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Process until finely chopped.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil until well blended but still slightly coarse.
  4. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes.
  6. Add 1 cup of cooked corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned) to the bowl.
  7. **Prepare the Chicken:** In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.
  8. Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken quarters.
  9. Lightly oil your barbecue grill and preheat to medium heat.
  10. Place the chicken quarters on the preheated grill.
  11. Close the grill lid and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  12. Serve the grilled chicken immediately, spooning the parsley sauce generously over each quarter.
  13. Garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
