Mango and lime glazed chicken bake
Background
I had a rather ripe mango to use up so I made this mango and lime glazed chicken bake. I like my food spicy so I would have added some chilli in the glaze, but I was making the dish for kids, so I just serve mine with chilli flakes. It is best served with boiled rice -Β it goes particularly well with my coconut rice with ginger recipe.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks & thighs
- 1 onion
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small or Β½ large mango
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 red chilli, deseeded (optional)
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- To serve: chopped coriander
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Put the chicken legs into a baking tin. Cut the onion into 4 wedges and tuck these between the chicken pieces. Brush them with the oil then season with salt & pepper. Put the tin in the oven.
- Meanwhile, peel the mango and cut the flesh into chunks. Put the mango and its juice in a food processor together with the garlic, ginger, honey, lime zest & juice and chilli (if used). Whizz until you get a textured paste.
- After 20 minutes of baking take the chicken out of the oven and pour away the pan juices. Coat each piece well with the glaze using a silicon brush. Tuck the lime halves between the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and cooked through, turning the chicken pieces once.
- Serve the chicken with the pan juices and some coriander leaves scattered all over.
