Mango Ginger Crispy Chicken Recipes

COCONUT MANGO BAKED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, over low heat, gently simmer the annato seeds with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Once the oil is a golden-reddish color, turn off the heat. This should only take a couple of minutes. Strain the oil into a small bowl, and discard the seeds. Set the oil aside.
• Add the coconut milk and mango to a blender and purée until smooth, about 10 seconds. Pour this mixture into an approximately 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish and then stir in the cayenne pepper, and the 2 tablespoons of the annato seed oil you just made.
• Add the chicken pieces, being sure each one is well coated with the marinade. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, and ideally overnight.
• After the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Evenly drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil -- (the portion that did not cook with the annato seeds) -- on a baking sheet. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and add them to the baking sheet, with a couple of inches between them. Do not rub the marinade off the chicken pieces, but do let any excess drip off into the baking pan. (Do not throw it out -- it will become a sauce later in the recipe.)
• Season both sides of the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper, leaving them skin side up.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the honey evenly over the chicken and place the baking sheet in the preheated 450°F oven. Once you see the chicken sizzling, after about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to 375°F. I remove the chicken pieces at various times to avoid overcooking the smaller pieces -- the wings should be done after about 15 minutes, the legs and thighs after about 20 to 25 minutes, and the breasts after about 30 to 35 minutes. As you remove them from the oven, place them on a large plate or platter and cover with foil. (They should have a nice golden color when they're done, and if they don't, you put them under the broiler just to brown them, about 30 seconds.)
• While the chicken is baking, add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Mix in the last teaspoon of honey and bring to a boil. Let it boil for about 30 seconds, then turn the heat to low and simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve it with the chicken. (Here's How to Season to Taste.)

ORANGE MANGO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breast halves in the skillet, and cook 5 to 10 minutes on each side, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Season both sides with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Heat the lemon juice in the skillet over medium heat, and scrape up browned bits. Mix in orange juice, mango, ginger, and cinnamon. Over high heat, cook and continuously stir 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Spoon over the cooked chicken breast halves to serve.

• Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place it over medium heat.
• When the oil is hot, add the seitan in an even layer. Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice to achieve browning on multiple sides. Transfer the seitan to a plate.
• Add the garlic, ginger and white parts of scallions to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.
• Turn up the heat to high and add the bell pepper and green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until the veggies are tender-crisp.
• Return the seitan to the skillet and add the mango and sauce. Flip everything a few times with a spatula and continue to cook for about 1 minute more, until the sauce is thick and coats everything.
• Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the basil, cilantro, and green parts of scallions.
• Divide onto plates with rice and sprinkle with chopped cashews. Serve.
