Ingredients

2 pkg TruLocal Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (5-6 thighs per pkg)

Marinade

¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
1/2 Lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Clove Garlic, minced
¼ Cup Fresh Basil, chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Oregano, chopped
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Himalayan Salt
½ tsp Black Pepper (stage 1 reintroduction)

Salsa

½ Quart Fresh Strawberries, washed, dried and diced
1 tsp of Honey
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Pinch of Black Pepper (stage 1 reintroduction)
2 Tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped

Instructions

Thaw your truLOCAL chicken thighs in the refrigerator overnight or defrost in their packaging in cold water.
Mix all marinade ingredients together in a shallow glass dish. Massage marinade into the chicken and arrange in a single layer and allow to marinade for 1 to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
Bring chicken to room temperature approximately 15 minutes before grilling, this will help ensure your meat cooks more evenly.
While the chicken returns to room temperature, prepare the salsa. NOTE: prepare the salsa no further in advance than this for best results and flavor.
Mix all mixing all salsa ingredients together in a small bowl and allow to stand covered at room temperature.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken thighs from marinade and place on pre-heated grill. Season with salt and pepper.
Allow chicken thighs to cook over medium-high heat until they release easily from grill, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken thighs over, season again with salt and pepper and allow to cook on second side until chicken releases easily from grill. Reduce flame or move chicken to cooler spots on your grill to avoid burning or flareups. Continuing grilling chicken, turning and moving until cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove chicken from grill and allow to rest, tented with foil, for a few minutes prior to serving. This allows the juices to settle back into the chicken.
Serve with a couple of spoonfuls of Strawberry Balsamic Salsa on top.
