Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mango, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro (loose pack, not chopped, stems andall)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus extra for grill
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks, bone in, skin on

Directions

Put the mango, cilantro, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, chipotle, salt and pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Add the chicken with half of the chipotle-mango sauce to a resealable plastic bag, and massage to coat the chicken with the sauce. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to marinate.

Put the other half of the chipotle-mango sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Set some of the simmered sauce aside to serve on the side, and baste the chicken every few minutes with the rest of the sauce.

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and put on the grill.

Grill the chicken, turning and basting about every 5 minutes, until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the reserved chipotle-mango sauce.

    This recipe is absolutely awesome. I followed the recipe to a tee, and it came out wonderful. It's very easy to put together. I had boneless skinless chicken thighs and they are THE BOMB!!! Next time I may add more of the chipotle for more heat. Guy, this one is a winner, and will be a permanent part of my recipe repertoire! The thighs are flavorful and very, very moist!

    This is a fantastic change of pace from bland chicken. The sauce is very easy to make and Guy lines it out very well in his video. I would recommend using a bit more mango, and about 1/2 cup of cilantro instead of 3/4 of a cup because the cilantro was a bit overpowering to the other flavors but don get me wrong it is FANTASTIC!. If you would like a little sweetness added to the tang I would probably put in a couple of tablespoons of honey and that will get you the sweet and tangy you may be looking for as well. Give this one a try and you wont be disappointed. Thank you Guy for your wisdom and motivation when it comes to food.
