Sweet And Sour Mango Chicken S C J 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.
