Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Pesto

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• marinade:
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 2 T. grated ginger
• 4 shallots, minced
• 4 garlice cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 c. vegetable oil
• cilantro pesto
• 1 large bunch cilantro, with roots if possible, well-washed
• 4-6 large cloves garlic
• 1 T. whole peppercorns
• 1-2 jalapeno peppers
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 c. vegetable oil

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large zip-top bag; add chicken. Marinate at least two hours.
2. Make cilantro pesto: combine all ingredients except oil in food processor, grind together, adding oil slowly through processor feed until a soft paste forms.
3. Remove chicken from marinade. Lift skin and spread 2 tablespoons cilatro pesto under skin of each thigh. Be careful not to contaminate pesto with utensils used on chicken -- you will use the remainder to finish the dish. Grill chicken on medium grill until chicken is cooked thoroughly.
