Time 7h40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups mango, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped
3/4 cup fresh cilantro (loose pack, not chopped, stems andall)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil, plus extra for grill
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks, bone in, skin on

Steps:

Put the mango, cilantro, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, chipotle, salt and pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Add the chicken with half of the chipotle-mango sauce to a resealable plastic bag, and massage to coat the chicken with the sauce. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to marinate.
Put the other half of the chipotle-mango sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Set some of the simmered sauce aside to serve on the side, and baste the chicken every few minutes with the rest of the sauce.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and put on the grill.
Grill the chicken, turning and basting about every 5 minutes, until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the reserved chipotle-mango sauce.

Time 6h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup coconut milk
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3/4 cup Truvia® natural sweetener spoonable*
1 tablespoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 fresh lime, juice and zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
*or 41 packets Truvia® natural sweetener
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and roughly chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro (stems included)

Steps:

1. Put the mangoes, cilantro, Truvia® natural sweetener, hot sauce, vinegar, coconut milk, onion, ginger, garlic, lime juice and zest and oil in a food processor and puree until smooth; add some water if too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. You should have about 1 quart of marinade. Divide it in half.
2. Place the chicken and half the mango mixture in a plastic bag and rub to coat the chicken with the mango puree. Refrigerate at least 6 to 8 hours to marinate.
3. Put the other half of the mango mixture into a small saucepan with the water and simmer over low heat until thick, up to 20 minutes.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Spray grill with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from marinade, season with salt and pepper, and begin to grill slowly. Turn heat down to medium and cook for about 20 minutes, basting chicken constantly with remaining marinade. Discard marinade that was in contact with raw chicken; for the last 10 minutes of cooking, use only the stove sauce to baste the chicken. Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
5. Spoon some of the remaining marinade over the chicken as a sauce if needed.
