    Just made the chicken. Sensational!! I was worried about the rub, that it would be too strongly flavored. I let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for about 5 hours, then baked in a 400 oven for about 45 minutes. I used whole leg quarters, our favorite. I did not have any mango, but had a bottle of curry mango grill sauce by Stonewall Kitchen. It was great. I also made a garlic jasmine rice pilaf which was perfect with everything. Had a spinach salad with mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, toasted almonds and a vinaigrette made with olive oil, white and fig balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and honey. This recipe is going to be one of my all time favorites. Thanks Bobby!! Next time I will make your sauce.

    I just made the Mango Habanero sauce. It was good, except one pepper is not enough heat. Maybe next time I will add one or two more.

    So just shut up and eat what you get! As a cook who works from instinct and not recipes, I didn't know what to do with the package I had so used this recipe, and it was awesome! Because I had 4 thighes, I cut the recipe in half. In place of Coriander, I used Cummin and dropped the All Spice because I didn't have it either. I'll make this again. Didn't bother with the sauce...who needs it?

    Love, Love, Love the sauce!!! Like another user, I added a little honey to cut the vinegar (mangos not as ripe from my grocer, but once I did that, it was perfect! I froze the remainder of the sauce to use again in the near future. Next time, will try to pick really ripe mangos so there shouldn't be a need for the honey. The chicken was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it. It was juicy and had a little kick to it. Once I added the mango sauce I was truly in chicken heaven. I like my food spicy so I added more cayenne to the recipe. Great recipe Bobby Flay!

    This sauce was awsome, tasty, delicious. I read some comments before I tried this to find out what mistakes were made. I can add this, you have to make good judgment calls when making a recipie you are not familiar with. My first mangos, not very good, they were not very fresh/ripe so I went back to the store and picked better which made a huge difference! I like it spicy so I used two Habeneros (Big Mistake I liked but family could not eat it. Two more mangos later (used to delute the first batch and the sauce was "fantastic" everyone really loved it, sweet with heat.
    The rub was really good too. Recipie was enough to have some for another dish and I froze the extra sauce also. It was that good, I didn't want to waste any.
    So as always, follow the recipie, adjust to the conditions of your kitchen and be sure to use fresh ingredients.
    Bobby Flay...... you are the man !!!!!!

    I love it. The mango relish makes it wonderful!! I know have the jerk-rub mix handy in my spice rack.

    My husband and I did not like this recipe at all. I halved the dry rub recipe and used it on chicken thighs. We both found the dry rub incredibly spicy and overall we did not think it tasted good at all. This is the first meal that I've made that my husband actually stopped eating and refused to finish. I think the rub would have been better with half the cayenne and a bit more sugar.

    I remember at the very end, switching it up to be less spicy for the folks I was serving, and I do regret that. I'd have to marinade longer and get fresher cuts to get a jucier thigh. I ended up serving these in home-made quesadillas (good idea - not so good timing--in my defense, I'd had way too much vodka to be cooking in the first place. I'll try this again sober =

    This was a good recipe but I wish I had rubbed the thighs and left them with the rub overnight. I also cooked them on an indoor grill and I wish there were some real fire and charcoal to the flavor profile. About the Habanero salsa. I had no habeneros but some very good and hot peppers from a local grower and I had no mango but substituted some homemade peach preserves I had made. It was fabulous! I will try the recipe with mango and habenero eventually but the Larry's pepper peach sauce was waaaay tasty.
