2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped

1 habanero, chopped

1 cup white wine vinegar

Directions

  1. 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.

We did not like this at all. Spice rub was way too overpowering, especially the cloves. The sauce had too much vinegar. Tried to save it by adding honey but didn’t help. Usually enjoy Bobby’s recipes but not this one.
