ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the bread cubes with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the Parmesan and scatter them around the sheet tray.
• Combine the zest, chili flakes, oregano, pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt and sprinkle liberally over the chicken thighs and place them skin-side down on the sheet tray. Roast the chicken and croutons for 15 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and turn the chicken skin-side up. Add the zucchini, squash, and lemon to the tray, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt, and drizzle with ½ teaspoon olive oil.
• Return the tray back into the oven and continue to roast until the croutons and vegetables are golden and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (avoid the bone) reads 165°F, about 15 minutes. To serve, transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large platter, squeeze the roasted lemons over everything, and sprinkle with the scallions and parsley.

Transfer to dish and turn to coat with lemon mixture; tent with foil. Cover grill; return to medium-high heat.
• Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred in places and squash is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Top with chicken; spoon more lemon mixture over top, if desired.

KOREAN CHICKEN THIGHS W SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water, pat dry, and set inside a large glass or plastic tupperware. Prepare the marinade by adding the ingredients (soy, sugar, garlic, onion, sesame oil, ginger, (gochugaru) into a food processor. Pulse for a few minutes or until smooth. Pour the marinade over the thighs to cover and coat. Mixing by hand is optional for optimal results. Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Place marinated chicken thighs in an oven-proof baking dish with marinade sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Continuous basting with sauce in the dish is recommended every 15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the zucchini and squash on a non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper as desired. Remove foil on the thighs and change oven setting to broil. Cook for another 15~30 minutes or until the chicken skin is charred. Continuously baste while the thighs are roasting on the broil setting. Serve with rice and remaining sauce from the dish if available. Enjoy! *Once thighs are done and there is leftover sauce, you can thicken it up by adding in some flour or corn starch (mixed with water until dissolved) and stir until it has reached desired thickness. Then brush or spoon the sauce over the thighs for extra flavor.
