Broiled Chicken Thighs With Mango Salsa Food

BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
• Combine avocado oil, lime juice, agave syrup, garlic, chili powder, cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir together to create the marinade. Pour marinade into the bag with the chicken. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and place in the refrigerator, making sure chicken pieces are in a single layer. Marinate for 8 hours, turning chicken pieces occasionally.
• Prepare salsa about 1 hour before cooking time. Combine mangoes, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, bell pepper, lime juice, salt, and cayenne in a bowl. Mix to combine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Set an oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place chicken thighs in a single layer on a broiler pan and discard marinade. Broil for 5 minutes. Flip and broil until chicken is slightly caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve chicken warm, with salsa.

MIRACLE MANGO SALSA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and sear the chicken thighs until browned well, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the rice, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 cup of the mango salsa. Stir and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the top of the rice, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken and rice are cooked through, 17 to 20 minutes.
• Serve up a pile of rice, topped with the chicken and garnished with additional mango salsa.

• While the chicken is cooking, combine the mango, avocado, red bell pepper and cilantro in a bowl. Stir in the lime juice and salt to taste.
• Spoon the salsa over the chicken and serve.

JERK CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Combine cinnamon, allspice, garlic salt, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of lime juice on a plate; mix to a paste. Brush both sides of chicken with seasoning paste; set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• Meanwhile, combine mango, shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, remaining tablespoon of lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
• Place chicken on preheated grill. Grill for 10 minutes; flip and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Cut each chicken thigh in half to serve. Yields 3 pieces of chicken (1 1/2 thighs total) and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.
• *Get crafty with leftovers: If you're only cooking for 2 people, still make this recipe for 4 servings. Then combine the leftover chicken with 2 cups of arugula and 1 cup of cooked asparagus for an entrée salad another night.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Make the salsa. Combine the mango, scallions, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. The salsa can be made up to a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Make the marinade. Add the mango, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic and salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and puree. Pour into a large bowl and add the chicken pieces. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least an hour or up to a day.
• Prepare the grill. Heat half of the grill to high, direct heat, and leave the other half cooler (if using charcoal or wood, then this area will have fewer coals). Add the chicken to the hottest part of the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is seared but not burnt.
• Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill, baste with the marinade, cover, and cook undisturbed for 20-25 minutes. Turn the chicken over and baste again with the marinade. Cover and cook for another 20-25 minutes, flipping and basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Serve warm with the Mango Salsa.

BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Position the top rack about 3 - 4 inches from the heating element. Set the oven to high broil and let it preheat.
• Line a baking tray with foil.
• Place chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add the oil, and the seasoning and mix well. Transfer the thighs to the baking tray and spread around, such that all thighs will be directly under the heating element.
• Broil the thighs for about 7, until nicely browned and the internal temperature reads 165F plus. Tip: the broiling time may vary depending on the oven and the power of the heating element, proximity to the heating element, etc. Pay close attention to the chicken at all times as it will only need minutes to cook.
