Spicy Chicken Thighs with Rhubarb-Cucumber Salsa
['1 habanero, Scotch bonnet, or Thai chile, with seeds, stemmed', '2 garlic cloves', '2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts divided', '1 tablespoon soy sauce', '1/4 cup olive oil', '6 large skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs', 'Kosher salt', '1 1/2 cups 1/4" cubes rhubarb', '1 cup 1/4" cubes unpeeled seeded English hothouse cucumber', '1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro', '1 tablespoon honey', '1 tablespoon vegetable oil', '1 teaspoon fresh lime juice', 'Freshly ground black pepper']
Preheat oven to 500°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pulse chile, garlic, and white parts of scallions in a food processor until finely chopped. With machine running, drizzle in soy sauce, then olive oil; process until emulsion forms. Transfer sauce to a bowl.
Place chicken thighs, skin side up, on a work surface and slash each crosswise at 3/4" intervals down to the bone. Season lightly with salt. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush with sauce. Bake until skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Broil on high for an additonal 2-3 minutes for crisper skin, if desired. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss rhubarb, next 5 ingredients, and green parts of scallions in a medium bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chicken with rhubarb salsa alongside.
