Alrighty friends…here is the Grilled Salsa Chicken that I intended on posting last night. But my day just didn’t play out as I thought it would and I did not get a chance in the early evening to get it all together!
A big thanks to Steve for photographing some of the pictures below. You might notice that 2 hands are in the photographs, and I don’t quite trust Ryan with my camera yet!
Speaking of moms having 3 hands, I read this quote the other day…
“If evolution were true, then why don’t mothers have 3 arms?!?” Amen!!!
*ahem* Back to the Grilled Salsa Chicken.
You can’t go wrong with this one! Especially with $.99/lb bone-in chicken thighs!!!

This is a great recipe! I just finished posting “grill tips” on my blog and this is a perfect complement.
Cupcake Mommie (Jessica) says
That is beautiful! I love how you stuffed the spices and salsa under the skin!
Mercedes says
yummy!
Sarah says
That looks so yummy! I’m going to have to try it soon. I’m usually not a bone-in fan but it makes for really moist and tender grilled chicken. đŸ™‚
TheVintageChain says
YUM!!! That looks and sounds really good!
Anastasia says
Um yeah. I love it when you have food that is also on my diet! Just taking the skin off after cooking is all I need to do! Yummy!
brandy says
Yummy! Those look so good! I love the fact that the flavoring is underneath the skin. đŸ˜€ Thanks for sharing.

@Allecia Steckel,
So glad you enjoyed them!
Jennifer says
Just made this for dinner – we all loved it!
Renee says
I want to thank you for this yummy recipe. I have been caring for my mom (and Dad LOL) who just got out of the hospital recently. I made this for them on Saturday for lunch and they loved it! Especially since my dad will only eat thighs, this was perfect! Thanks!
Ginger says
I am not a fan of thighs or any kind of dark meat could you do this with white meat like breasts instead? Thanks for all the great recipes.

Yeah, we just got a grill for Father’s Day….. I bet this will be a hit as well as your black bean brownies were……. kids have no idea there were black beans in them and I had to hide the bag so they wouldn’t eat them up all at once!!!!! Shhhh… it’s our secret đŸ˜‰
