Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broiled Chicken Thighs with Fresh Mango Salsa.
Step 1
To start your delicious chicken thighs, grab a large resealable bag and add the chicken.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together some avocado oil, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a vibrant marinade.
Step 3
Pour this flavorful mixture over the chicken in the bag, ensuring every piece is coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag tightly, squeezing out as much air as you can, and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
Step 5
Don’t forget to give the bag a gentle turn every now and then to let those flavors mingle beautifully.
Step 6
About an hour before you’re ready to cook, let’s whip up a refreshing mango salsa.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine diced mangoes, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno, diced bell pepper, a splash of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Step 8
Stir everything together until well mixed, then cover and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve.
Step 9
This salsa will add a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the chicken.
Step 10
When it’s time to cook, preheat your oven’s broiler and adjust the rack so it’s about 5 inches from the heat source.
Step 11
Take the chicken out of the marinade and arrange the thighs in a single layer on a broiler pan, discarding any leftover marinade.
Step 12
Broil the chicken for about 5 minutes, then flip each piece and continue broiling until the chicken is beautifully caramelized and an instant-read thermometer shows it has reached 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
Step 13
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, serve it warm, generously topped with that vibrant mango salsa.
Step 14
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that will surely impress your family and friends!.
