Marinated chicken and salsa are an excellent pairing, especially for a big cookout, because you can make the salsa ahead and set the chicken up to marinate at the same time. The flavor of both components will improve with a night in the fridge, and having the chicken ready to throw on the grill will make your party prep easy.
