  While the chicken cooks, prepare the jalapeño salsa. Place the peppers directly on the grill grates next to the chicken and cook until charred all over, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the stems from the jalapeños, then combine peppers and remaining salsa ingredients in a high-powered blender. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. (Jalapeño salsa will store perfectly for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator).
