Ingredients
Jerk Rub:
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon cayenne powder
- 2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dry thyme
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 8 chicken thighs
- Sliced fresh mango
- Homemade Mango Habanero Sauce, recipe follows
- Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Directions
Combine all spices in a small bowl. Rub the skin side of the chicken with the rub and let rest for 30 minutes. Heat the grill to medium heat and grill the thighs, skin side down for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the chicken, close the cover of the grill and move the chicken to the side (or cooler part) of the grill. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes or until completely cooked through. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve fresh mango slices and Mango-Habanero Hot Sauce. Sprinkle leaves of cilantro on top.
Homemade Mango-Habanero Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1 habanero, chopped
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- Salt
Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, mangoes, habanero and vinegar and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of warm water or vinegar. Season with salt.
Yield: 4 servings

Argh... wish I'd seen that you shouldn't close the grill cover during the first 12 minutes of cooking. I closed my grill & walked away for about 8 minutes and came back to completely blackened jerk chicken. Thankfully it wasn't terrible once we removed the burnt skin but I will be sure to follow the directions to a t next time

The rub and habanero sauce was delicious! I would definitely cut down the vinegar by half next time, as it was too vinegary for me, but if you love that taste then leave the recipe as is! For that reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but its all about your palette.

not many new recipes earn a "repeat" in this house, but I've made this so many times I almost have it memorized....I freeze the extra rub, and it is a huge hit!! You have to have the salsa with the chicken, if the heat gets to you...have a glass of cold milk on hand, this stuff is delicious!
