Ingredients
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus more, for the sauce
3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (6 to 8 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 firm ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut milk
2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the onions in a bowl with the vinegar and soak 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place skin-side up in a large ovensafe skillet and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the beans, mango and cilantro with the soaked onions and vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
- Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates. Carefully pour out the excess fat from the skillet and place on the stovetop over medium-high heat (use caution; the handle will be extremely hot). Add the chipotle chiles, remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar and season with salt.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the black bean-mango salad on the side.
