Ingredients needed
These ingredients come together to make a sweet and savory, sticky chicken dinner. This is what you’ll need:
- Onion : Minced very finely and browned, then mixed with the chutney and spices to become a paste.
- Garlic : For savory depth of flavor.
- Mango chutney: Sweet and tangy, the chutney glazes the chicken, adding flavor while also acting like a glaze.
- Curry powder: Boost the flavor profile of the dish with some earthy, warming curry powder.
- Chicken thighs: We opt for bone in and skin on chicken in this recipe, however you can use any cut of chicken that you like best. Simply reduce the cooking time for boneless thighs or chicken breast.
What to serve with mango chutney chicken
