Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, hot sauce, and olive oil with a generous pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper. Pour half into another bowl. In one bowl, toss the chicken to coat in the marinade.

step 2

Preheat a grill or grillpan over medium high. Grill the chicken thighs, skin side down to start, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Set aside to rest.

step 3

Meanwhile, in the other bowl, toss the carrots, red onion, and red bell pepper. Check seasoning. Top the chicken thighs with the slaw to serve.

Helpful Tips:
1. When using carrots, you don’t need to peel them, just wash them.
2. You can cook the chicken on an inside grill pan or cast iron pan. Don’t move the chicken around too much. If you flip the chicken and it sticks, it’s not ready to be flipped. Putting a brick on the chicken makes the chicken cook more evenly.
3. Chicken thighs are usually the cheapest cut in the store. Cut some fat out of your diet by cooking the thighs with the skin on and removing it before serving.
