Servings: persons

6 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, pressed or minced
6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Olive oil
5 cups water
1 cup polenta or cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Fresh corn kernels cut from 3 large ears
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1
Combine the green onions, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl and whisk to blend. Carefully loosen the skin on each chicken thigh, making sure to leave it attached, then slide half the marinade under the skin, dividing equally among pieces. Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then spread the remaining marinade on top of the skin. Cover and refrigerate; the chicken can be used immediately or allowed to marinate for 6-8 hours.
2
Bring the water to boil in a large saucepan, then whisk in the polenta in a slow stream to prevent clumping. Once it's all added, add the salt and sugar and reduce heat to low, stirring often as it thickens and the cornmeal becomes creamy, 25-30 minutes. Add the fresh corn kernels and cook an additional 5 minutes until they are soft, then mix in the mascarpone cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to serve.
3
In the meantime, prepare a grill, grill pan, or broiler. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and/or brush the grill rack if using. Grill chicken over moderate heat to prevent burning until cooked through. Serve chicken atop polenta.
