Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus more, for the sauce
3 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (6 to 8 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 firm ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut milk
2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put the onions in a bowl with the vinegar and soak 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place skin-side up in a large ovensafe skillet and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the beans, mango and cilantro with the soaked onions and vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
  • Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates. Carefully pour out the excess fat from the skillet and place on the stovetop over medium-high heat (use caution; the handle will be extremely hot). Add the chipotle chiles, remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar and season with salt.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the black bean-mango salad on the side.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken thighs, but this dish was surprisingly good! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the sauce was flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
