Ingredients
- Chicken thighs (preferably boneless)
- chilli powder
- Smoked paprika
- salt
- black pepper
- corn starch/flour
- lemon juice
- mango
- chillies
- garlic
- honey
- peppers
- chilli sauce
Step 1
Debone the chicken thighs ad dice them. Place them in a bowl with a tsp of salt, chilli powder, and paprika. Add to it ¼ a teaspoon of black pepper, 2 tsp of corn starch, a tbsp of chilli sauce and a tsp of lemon juice. Mix the seasoning and the chicken until coated and let it rest for 15-30 minutes. While it rests prepare a pan with about an inch of oil to deep fry the chicken. Chop a bell pepper into pieces and keep them aside.
Step 2
Combine a cup of mango, chilli pepper and a couple of garlic cloves in a bowl or blender and blend until smooth. Put it aside as this mixture will be part of the sauce.
Step 3
Bring the oil to medium-high heat and place the chicken pieces in the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan – you can fry them, in multiple batches. Once the chicken is golden brown, remove it from the fire into a plate with a paper towel (for drainage).
Step 4
Place ½ cup of honey into a pan and increase the temperature to low-medium. Stir until it becomes foamy and add the mango mixture. Stir consistently until combined (3-5 minutes). Stir in a tsp of smoked paprika, ½ tsp of chilli powder, and salt to taste. Reduce the heat completely.
Step 5
Add the chopped bell pepper to a pan and cover. Let it cook on high for five minutes. Once done put the softened peppers in the mang mix. Bring the fried chicken to the pan and stir until every piece is coated in the honey-mango sauce. Cover for one minute on low heat and transfer to a bowl or plate. This delightful honey-mango chicken is excellent on rice, sandwiches or stir-fry noodles.
