Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 large Fresh mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth to create the glaze.

Step 4

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Pour the mango mustard glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
