Preparation:
Directions
Place all the spices in the bowl of a blender or food processor and process until well blended. Remove the skin of the chicken, wash and dry the whole breast. Slash the breast with three gashes crosswise.
Rub the gashes or fill them with the rub and let rest for 30 minutes or even overnight. The amount of rub used and the time for marination will determine the heat and flavor of the chicken.
Heat the grill to medium heat and grill the thighs, skin side down for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the chicken, close the cover of the grill and move the chicken to the side (or cooler part) of the grill. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes or until completely cooked through.
I used the oven and turned the roast settings and roasted the chicken for about 30 mins and then turned over to Broil it for a few minutes to crisp the top.
Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with pan fried ripe plantains and stewed swiss chard accompanied with the Mango-Habanero Hot Sauce. Sprinkle chopped cilantro for color.
For the Mango Sauce:Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, mangoes, habanero and vinegar and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of warm water or vinegar. Season with salt.
