GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa image

Provided by Fork Knife Swoon

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and/or drumsticks
1 mango, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1-2 jalapenos or serrano chiles (adjust according to spice level), minced
2-3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
juice of 1 lime
kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

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.

SMOKY ROASTED CHICKEN AND CITRUS SALSA



Smoky Roasted Chicken and Citrus Salsa image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole (3-1/2-pound) free-range chicken
1/2 cup smoked olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 -1/2 pounds baby creamer potatoes in assorted colors
2 limes
1 navel orange
1 grapefruit
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 breakfast radishes
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
Flowering cilantro buds
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Roast the chicken. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone and discard it. Flatten the chicken and cut it in half through the breast so you have two halves-each with a leg and breast. Rub all over with some of the smoked olive oil, ensuring it gets in all the crevices. Season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Set the chicken in a large roasting pan over two burners and heat over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken halves skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, add the potatoes to the pan, and drizzle with more smoked olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the joint between the thigh and drumstick reads 160 degrees to 165 degrees F. The potatoes should be golden on the outside and tender in the middle. Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Make the citrus salsa. Use a sharp knife to cut away the rind and pith from each of the citrus fruits. Holding the fruit over a bowl, carefully cut between the membranes to free the segments. Let the juices and segments fall into the bowl. Add about cup extra-virgin olive oil to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cut the radishes into very fine matchsticks on a mandoline or with a sharp knife. Fold them into the citrus salsa, and add the chives.
  • Serve the roasted chicken with the potatoes and citrus salsa, and garnish with flowering cilantro. Season with fleur de sel.

1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade for the chicken in this recipe is made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme. This combination of ingredients will infuse the chicken with flavor as it cooks.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave enough space between each piece of chicken so that the air can circulate and the chicken can cook all the way through.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent the chicken from burning on the outside while still cooking it all the way through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken. The chicken is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Letting the chicken rest before serving will help to keep the juices in the chicken and prevent it from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

This citrus grilled chicken with mango salsa is a flavorful and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme, then grilled until cooked through. The mango salsa is made with fresh mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice, and it adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
