Grilled Chicken Thighs With Mango Salsa

Cindy recently returned from a family visit in Florida and brought us a gift of three salsas, one of which was Mango, and I decided to give it a try on grilled chicken thighs.  We had six thighs and I decided to use BBQ sauce on three and mango salsa on the others – since it was chunky, I blended up some for brushing. 

I began the process by salting the thighs and brushing both sides with oil.

I cooked them over medium heat starting with the skin side down and after the first flip I brushed the cooked side with sauce and continued this process until the thighs reached an internal temp of 170F – about 5 flips with the lid closed between them.  After the final flip, I added a generous topping of salsa to my piece – due to the heat level, Bev and Cindy declined the additional.

We sided the chicken with a Bev salad – creamy feta on mine – for meal that we all thought was delicious.  The salsa worked very well on the chicken and I think I’ll try it on salmon next and I believe it would also work well on fish tacos - I now look forward to trying the other two salsas.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
