Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs bone-in skin-on
  • 1 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 stalks fesh thyme and scallion chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup roughly chopped mango

  3. Make the sauce: add the coconut milk and mango to a blender and purée until smooth.
  4. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and ginger, stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the curry, cook for another minute. Add the mango coconut purée and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
