To make the guacamole, place the avocados in a large bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt. Using a fork, pastry blender or potato masher, blend until the avocados are almost smooth, or to your desired consistency for guacamole. Add the lime juice, red onion and cilantro. Stir to combine. Taste, adding more salt if necessary. To keep the color fresh for the guacamole, place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the top of the guacamole, making sure the entire surface is covered. Set aside until using (or up to 1 hour).2 Whole ripe avocados

Once hot, place the chicken thighs directly on the grill grate, ensuring any extra marinade drips off into the bowl before placing it on the grill. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, about 20 to 30 minutes.400 ˚F

To assemble the bowls, place all of the lettuce in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the marinade. Taste, adding a little more oil if necessary to tone down the spice. Divide the lettuce evenly between 4 bowls, then add 1/4 of each of the other bowl ingredients in clusters around the bowl. Top with the chicken, a dollop of guacamole and an additional drizzle of the marinade. Enjoy!6 Cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
