Ingredients

Mango Chutney Sauce:

  • 2 ripe Mangos cut and peeled (cubed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion chopped (about 3/4 cup chopped onion) 1 Garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Raisins
  • ½ teaspoon Mustard Seeds
  • Pinch of Red Pepper flakes
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons White Wine
  • ½ cup Water or Juice from Mangoes
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 Green Onions to garnish chopped

For the chicken thighs:

  • 2 pounds Chicken Thighs 4 thighs, bone in, skin on, trimmed of excess fat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat Olive Oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the Onions and cook until clear, about 5 minutes. Add Garlic and cook a minute more.
  • Add the Mango, Ginger, Raisins, Mustard Seeds, Red Pepper Flakes, Wine, Water (or Mango Juice), and Sugar. Stir together.
  • Bring to simmer, cover the pan, and cook on low for 30 minutes. Roast the Chicken
  • While the chutney is simmering, preheat oven to 400°F with rack in the middle position. Coat the bottom of the roasting pan with Olive Oil.
  • Rinse the Chicken thighs in water, and pat dry. Rub Olive Oil over the chicken pieces, sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.
  • Put Chicken pieces in roasting pan, and in the oven. Cook until the juices run clear when perforated, or when the internal temperature of the thighs is 170°F, about 30 minutes.
  • If the chicken pieces are not browned enough for you, you can finish them in the broiler for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Remove chicken pieces from roasting pan.
  • Mix mango chutney with a little of the chicken drippings (without the fat).
  • Add salt to taste. Add a little sugar if too acidic.
  • Serve chicken with mango chutney sauce. Garnish with chopped Green Onions.
