Notes
You can use any cuts of chicken for this recipe! Breasts, thighs, or even break down a whole chicken and cook all the cuts in this method.
If you don't have a grill, you can make this in the oven! Instead of using a grill, place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack. Roast at 425ºF until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 20-25 minutes. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the chimichurri sauce, then roast for the remaining 3 minutes.
