Prep: 20 min + marinating / Cook: 20 min
Yield: 4-6 servings
This chicken is absolutely delicious! It is so tender and full of bold, yummy flavors, even without adding the extra barbecue sauce. My two-year old (who doesn't typically devour meat) asked for seconds.
1 1/2 tsp. lime juice
1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 Tbs. Caribbean jerk seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
Barbecue Sauce:
3 Tbs. mango chutney
1 1/2 tsp. lime juice
1 1/2 tsp. honey
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 tsp. minced fresh ginger root
1 Tbs. minced fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted
1 tsp. grated orange peel
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, jerk seasoning, and garlic; add the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
For barbecue sauce, combine chutney, lime juice, honey, mustard, five-spice powder, and ginger; set aside. In another small bowl, combine cilantro, sesame seeds, and orange peel; set aside.
Drain and discard marinade. Broil chicken 4-6" from heat for 7 minutes. Turn and broil for 6 minutes. Divide barbecue sauce, using half to baste chicken and saving the rest for serving. Broil 3-5 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear. Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with cilantro mixture. Serve with remaining sauce.
Notes:
- I used Jamaican jerk seasoning; I'm not sure if there's a difference.
