Lime Marinated Mango Habanero Chicken Recipes

MANGO-HABANERO BBQ CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and cover with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight. If you're in a hurry, marinade for 1 hour minimum, though you won't get as much flavor penetration.
• Heat a large saucepan to medium heat and add olive oil with onion and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes, or until everything softens.
• Add the garlic and cook another minute, until garlic becomes fragrant.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir until everything is combined.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20-30 minutes.
• Process until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a ½ cup of water or more and continue to process to your preferred consistency. Serve the sauce right away, or let it sit awhile to allow the flavors to more fully develop.
• Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken 5 minutes per side to get a nice sear.
• Baste on a few spoonsful of the barbecue sauce and continue to grill until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
• Remove from heat and let rest a couple minutes.
• Serve with extra bbq sauce.

LIME MARINATED MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except spinach and salsa, in a large ziplock or bowl. Shake or stir to evenly coat. Cover and store in fridge at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to marinate.
• Preheat grill or griddle skillet to medium heat and lightly grease. Remove chicken and discard marinade. Cook chicken 6-8 minutes, or until charred marks appear on one side. Rotate and cook another 6-8 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove from pan.
• Place spinach in pan and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes. Served cooked chicken over spinach and top with desired amount of salsa. Garnish with additional lime juice or cilantro leaves if desired.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO HABANERO GLAZE

Steps:

• Add the first five ingredients (sugar through cider vinegar) in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium and stir frequently, mashing the mango, until the ingredients are incorporated and begin to boil. Lower the heat to simmer, and let cook slowly for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze 1 tbsp juice from the orange and add with the rum to the sugar/mango mixture. Stir and simmer gently for 2 - 3 more minutes. Set aside and cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Salt chicken to taste. Grill chicken until nearly finished. Baste chicken with glaze and grill a few more minutes on each side, basting lightly with glaze with each turn until the chicken is done.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Reserve and refrigerate extra glaze for future use.
