Preheat an oiled grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the chicken pieces on the grill. Cover and grill them, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 35 minutes. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reaches 180 F. Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Grill the scallions for 4 minutes, remove them from the grill and then chop them into 1/2-inch pieces.
