Description

This Grilled Mango Chicken recipe is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors. Tender chicken thighs are marinated in a luscious mango sauce, then grilled to perfection. Perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lb. chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

For the Marinade:

  • 2 mangos
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons water, or more as needed
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add chicken to a plastic bag or a large baking dish: Set aside.
  2. Next, make the marinade: Add the soy sauce, mangos, garlic, ginger, and water to a small blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.

  3. Marinate the chicken: Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce, then pour the rest over the chicken. Seal the bag shut and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
  4. Grill the chicken: Heat the grill to 400°F. Remove the chicken from the bag, shake off excess marinade, and grill for 6-7 minutes per side.
