BROILED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
• Combine avocado oil, lime juice, agave syrup, garlic, chili powder, cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir together to create the marinade. Pour marinade into the bag with the chicken. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and place in the refrigerator, making sure chicken pieces are in a single layer. Marinate for 8 hours, turning chicken pieces occasionally.
• Prepare salsa about 1 hour before cooking time. Combine mangoes, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, bell pepper, lime juice, salt, and cayenne in a bowl. Mix to combine and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Set an oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place chicken thighs in a single layer on a broiler pan and discard marinade. Broil for 5 minutes. Flip and broil until chicken is slightly caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve chicken warm, with salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Combine cinnamon, allspice, garlic salt, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of lime juice on a plate; mix to a paste. Brush both sides of chicken with seasoning paste; set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• Meanwhile, combine mango, shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, remaining tablespoon of lime juice and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
• Place chicken on preheated grill. Grill for 10 minutes; flip and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Cut each chicken thigh in half to serve. Yields 3 pieces of chicken (1 1/2 thighs total) and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.
• *Get crafty with leftovers: If you're only cooking for 2 people, still make this recipe for 4 servings. Then combine the leftover chicken with 2 cups of arugula and 1 cup of cooked asparagus for an entrée salad another night.
