Grilled Mango Chicken is a refreshing and smoky summer meal with a tropical twist! Easy to make with a mango-soy sauce marinade and boneless chicken thighs, this is one recipe you need on your summer grilling list.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 mangos
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp water, or more as needed
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. Add chicken to a plastic bag or a large baking dish and set aside.
2. Make the marinade by adding soy sauce, mangos, garlic, ginger, and water to a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

6. Place grilled chicken on a platter and brush with the reserved marinade.
7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve.
Notes
