This flavourful Caribbean mango salad, also known as Souscaille, pairs beautifully with grilled chicken. Chicken could also be cooked under a broiler or in a grill pan and glaze could be used on chicken breasts as well

Ingredients
  • 2 mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup finely diced sweet red pepper
  • ⅓ cup lime juice lime
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic, divided
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped red thai chili or serrano chili
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for chicken
  • ¼ cup orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon minced, peeled fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hot mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
  • Olive oil for oiling grill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, for garnish
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens, for garnish
Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium high.

  2. Toss mangoes with red pepper, lime juice, water, 1 teaspoon garlic, chili and salt. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine marmalade, next four ingredients and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic. Set over medium heat and whisk until marmalade melts. Set aside.

  4. Generously season chicken with salt and pepper; lightly oil cooking grates and place skin side down on hottest part of the grill. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move chicken to cooler part of the grill, cover and continue to cook, turning occasionally until skin is golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Brush chicken with glaze and continue to grill until chicken is cooked through and skin has caramelized in spots, about 5 minutes longer. Serve chicken divided evenly among 4 plates mixed greens. Top greens with mango salad and some of it's juice and garnish with mint leaves.
