Ingredients
Mango Honey Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 small Spanish onion, chopped
- 3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 3 to 4 tablespoons clover honey
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chile de arbol powder (depending on how spicy you like it)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Red Chile Buttermilk Chicken:
- 4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
- 1 tablespoon cascabel chile powder
- 1 tablespoon New Mexican chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chile de arbol powder or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 bone-in chicken breasts, skin on (about 8 ounces each)
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on
- 4 chicken drumsticks, skin on
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the mango honey glaze: Heat the oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the mangoes and cook until soft and juicy, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, orange and pineapple juices, 3 tablespoons honey and the chile de arbol and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a blender and carefully blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and more honey if needed. The mixture should be a thick puree. If too thick, thin with a touch of water. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
For the chicken: Whisk together the buttermilk, chile powders, coriander, granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika and cinnamon in a large baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours, turning a few times.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Place the chicken on a baking rack set over a baking sheet, return to the refrigerator and let sit, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill for indirect grilling.
Brush the chicken on both sides with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill directly over the heat and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over and continue grilling until the bottom is golden brown. Move to the cooler side of the grill, close the cover and continue grilling until cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. During the last few minutes, brush with some of the mango honey glaze. Remove to a platter and drizzle with more of the glaze.

What a wonderful combination of flavors. The hardest part of this recipe was assembling all the ingredients togther, but well worth the effort.

Love the Recipe work and time SO WORTH IT.... other reviews Dont either know how to cook on a grill or take the word "about" out of their vocab. the cook time is all about how hot your "oven" is no matter what way you are cooking (or recipe ... since it cooks on the cooler side of the grill I will use a portable Therm. to verify temp so I cook to Done.... Bobby has the ultimate grills so the temps he gets are most likely more consistant than most of our home grills ... I SO WANT HIS GRILLS.....

It was a lot of work and not a lot of flavor. The chicken was very moist but I could not make out any of the flavors from the marinade. I agree that this is best for bone in white meat. I would make this again for a larger group but only use white meat. The glaze was really good. I only used 1/4 of the chile de arbol and there was just a warm feel to it. Overall good but not as much flavor as Bobby's other dishes.
