Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mango, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro (loose pack, not chopped, stems and all)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus extra for grill
  • 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, chipotle, vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of oil and salt and pepper, in a food processor and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings, to taste.

Add the chicken with half the mango mixture 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 mango mixture into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Set some of the simmered chipotle-mango 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 canola 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, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the reserved mango sauce.

    This is one of my favorite recipes. The ingredients are affordable and the chicken is delicious! I use boneless, skinless thighs and a little indoor grill, very yummy. My boyfriend and I love this recipe!

    Excellent! I also used chicken breasts, bone in and skin on, to retain moisture. Barbecued on the Weber with mesquite, indirect cooking. I used left over sauce to baste with. Moist, succulent chicken, loads of flavor. Will definitely be grilling again with this recipe! Thanks Guy!!

    It was good, although it didn't win me over like it did my husband. He loved it!!
