Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season them with paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the diced mango, apricot preserves, soy sauce, lime juice, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, nestling them into the mango and apricot sauce.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to glaze it. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro (optional) and serve hot over rice or with a side of roasted vegetables.
