Affected location: Czechia

Illustrative image: You know what's better than chicken thighs? Skinless and boneless grilled chicken thighs. I sprinkled kosher salt, ground black pepper, chipotle chile pepper on them and then put them on the grill. I also grilled a large green pepper and a few serrano peppers and onions. After the peppers cooled I slid off the skins and removed the seeds. Topped with cheddar cheese and a squeeze of line and this dish rocked! The corn on the cob was grilled in foil with chopped green onions and a dash of Slap Ya — David Reber from Kansas City, USA/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0
