Step 2
Combine the remaining 1/4 teasopon salt, shallots, and garlic in a mortar and pestle; smash mixture to make a paste. (Alternately you can use a mini food processor).
Step 3
Combine the garlic mixture, cilantro, and the remaining ingredients. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons cilantro mixture over each chicken thigh.
