Best Easy Mango Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

SWEET AND STICKY MANGO CHUTNEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. (See notes) Add the onion and cook until it is soft and starting to brown, about 3 minutes if the onion is very finely minced. Add the garlic and let it cook for 1 minute. Transfer the onions and garlic to a small bowl and set the pan aside.
• Mix the mango chutney, curry powder, cayenne, and sea salt into the onions and garlic. Spread half the paste under the skin of the chicken and the remainder on top of the chicken skin. Don't spread any on the bottom of the chicken.
• Place the chicken into the pan and put the pan in your oven. Let the chicken cook for 40 minutes. If you're serving this with rice or cauliflower rice, start cooking that now. If you'd like the chicken a little more brown, you can broil it for 3-4 minutes at the end of cooking.

MANGO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Dice one of the mangoes and onion. Peel the other mango and grate the meat on a fine grater.
• Preheat a medium sauce pot over medium heat and add some oil. Saute onion until softened and add garlic and diced mango.
• Cook for about a minute and add grated mango puree, chicken broth, lime juice, lime zest, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes.
• Cook over for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Stir in cilantro and take it off the heat.
• Break down the whole chicken into 10 pieces - 4 quarters of breasts, 2 drums, 2 thighs, and 2 wings. Season each piece with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 375°.
• Preheat a large skillet or an oven-safe cooking pan over medium-high heat and add some oil.
• Sear chicken for a couple of minutes on both sides, until browned.
• Spread mango sauce all over the chicken, gently shake the pan to help spread it around, and transfer the pan into the oven.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes.
