Mango Habanero Glazed Chicken
Mango Habanero Glazed Chicken features roasted bone-in chicken thighs coated with a spicy-sweet glaze made from ripe mangoes, habanero pepper, honey, and apple cider vinegar. The glaze is cooked until thick and mashed before coating the chicken, which is then briefly roasted again for a caramelized finish. Served alongside brown rice and garlicky ginger carrots, this dish balances heat with fruity sweetness.
