Ingredients

For the roasted garlic-oregano vinaigrette:

8 cloves roasted garlic
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes

For the grilled chicken and potatoes:

12 fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
Olive oil
4 (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breasts
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Fresh oregano sprigs, for garnish

Fresh parsley sprigs, for garnish

For the roasted garlic-oregano vinaigrette:

Combine garlic, vinegar, oregano, parsley, honey and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Stir in the red chile flakes.

For the grilled chicken and potatoes:

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until a paring knife inserted comes out with some resistance. Do not cook the potatoes all the way through because they will continue cooking on the grill. Drain well and when cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise.

Heat the grill to medium.

Brush the chicken and potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. A few minutes before the chicken has finished cooking, place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down and cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling about a minute longer. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the roasted garlic-oregano vinaigrette. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with oregano sprigs and parsley sprigs.

Nothing to write home about
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe after reading all the 5 star reviews, and I thought it was fine but certainly not amazing or mind... blowing. My husband didn't really like the vinaigrette - said it was too oily. I think this recipe's only real selling point is that it is relatively easy. It did take longer than advertised as I had to roast the garlic in the oven prior to in order to have roasted garlic.

Best Grilled Chicken Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I Just made this recipe last week and it is truly the best grilled chicken I have ever had! I was really worried at first... with such little seasoning when grilling the chicken, but all of it together was amazing! I even forgot honey and used molasses instead. I have had friends make it as well since and they love it too! Definitely a keeper, and so simple. Thanks again Bobby Flay!! NickRead more

Even better leftovers!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is absolutely outstanding! After I finished my dinner, I plated up the leftovers-which I drizzled the vinaigrette over... right after grilling. You know how cake and lasagna are always better the 2nd day? So is this recipe. The vinaigrette really intensified after sitting on the chicken and potatoes for a day. Sooo good!Read more

Great, Easy Grilled Chicken
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What an easy (not to mention great tasting) grilled chicken recipe. The vinaigrette was excellent!! The fresh oregano and... roasted garlic gave it a such a different taste from the regular basil pesto (which I love as well). I had extra vinaigrette leftover, so I put in the frig and used it on all sorts of things. I will definitely make this one again!Read more

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the first time for a very important dinner party. What a hit. Recently I substituted the parsley for some... of the tons of fresh basil that I grow every Summer and it was excellent. Read more

Tasty and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just finished eating and I have to say it was very good. Not usually a fan of chicken but if you grill this just right, it's... not dry and the pesto makes the meal. The grilled potatoes were great. I didn't have fingerling, so I used regular ones and sliced them into quarters lengthwise. Next time I make this, a clove or two less garlic and maybe a little more honey.
