Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 large Fresh mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth to create the glaze.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.
Pour the mango mustard glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
