Grilled boneless chicken thighs
One of my favorite ways to enjoy summer green onions is to throw them on the grill. As it chars, it becomes sweet, smoky and much more tender, making it the perfect base for a simple sauce. A mix of sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger transforms into a vibrant, flavorful sauce that takes juicy grilled boneless chicken thighs to the next level. Serve with rice and steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for an easy summer dinner. For another chive sauce recipe, try this Ginger Chive Fish Recipe.
