Instructions

1. Heat a grill to medium-high and clean the grates; meanwhile trim the asparagus, chop the tomato and cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon.
2. In a bowl, whisk the lemon zest, half the lemon juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, dried oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; add the chicken thighs and turn to coat, then let stand 15 minutes while the grill heats.
3. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
4. Grill the chicken thighs over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side, closing the lid between turns, until lightly charred and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
5. During the last 6 to 8 minutes of cooking, grill the asparagus perpendicular to the grates, turning occasionally, until bright green, tender-crisp, and lightly blistered.
6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest 5 minutes; while it rests, toss the tomato, cucumber, red onion, parsley, remaining lemon juice, a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
7. Plate the grilled asparagus alongside the chicken thighs, spoon the fresh tomato-cucumber salad over or beside the chicken, and finish with any resting juices.
