  • 4Set the grilling broiling rack over the roasting pan. Put the chicken on the broiling rack, skin side up. Spoon the marinade over the chicken.
  • 5Once preheated, place the chicken in the oven and roast for 50 minutes until cooked. To test, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh, if the juices run clear the chicken is cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour all the pan juices into a bowl and reserve. Cover the chicken with foil and set aside for 10 minutes to rest.
  • 6Wash the broiling rack and roasting pan.
  • 7To make the salsa, cut the tomatoes into quarters. Using a knife, remove and discard the seeds and finely chop. Put in a bowl. Add the bell pepper, green onions, lime zest, juice and the olive oil and salt to the tomatoes. Stir to combine. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
  • 8To make the Mexican grilled corn, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the corn, boil uncovered for 4-6 minutes until the corn is just tender. Drain the corn and set aside.
  • 9Brush the corn with the some of the reserved pan juices.
  • 10Set the broiling rack over the roasting pan and put the corn on the rack. Put the corn in the oven.
  • 11Set the oven to BROIL/HIGH/6 minutes.
