Recipe

  • 8 boneless and skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
For the marinade
  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 knob of fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) dried thyme
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) fresh rosemary
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) chilli flakes
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) ground cinnamon
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) ground nutmeg
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) light soy sauce
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) olive oil

Description

  1. For the marinade, place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
  2. Put the chicken thighs into a large mixing bowl and pour over half of the marinade, use your hands to mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the other half of the marinade in the fridge.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  4. Transfer the chicken into a medium oven dish – the chicken thighs must fit snuggly in the oven dish. Pour over the reserved marinade to evenly coat the chicken and bake until the chicken is cooked through, for 45 – 60 minutes.
  5. Mix the diced mango with the rosemary and top over the chicken and serve while still hot.
