Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium-sized Fresh mango (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onion (chopped)
- 1 small Red chili (optional for extra heat, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub them generously with olive oil followed by the spice mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
Drizzle honey over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is coated. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, lime juice, chopped cilantro, green onion, and optional red chili. Mix well and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the chicken thighs topped with the fresh mango salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Caribbean Honey Spiced Chicken with Mango!
