Ingredients
4(4 ounces each) boneless chicken thigh meat
salt and pepper to taste
1cupmango nectar (I used KERNS)
1/4cupbarbecue sauce
1/4teaspoonred pepper flakes
1teaspoonsesame oil
Instructions
Trim chicken thigh fillets of extra fat, wash and drain well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, combine mango nectar, barbecue sauce, and red pepper flakes. Marinate chicken for about 4 hours or overnight for best results. Drain from marinade.
In a saucepan, bring the mango nectar-barbecue marinade to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Add sesame oil and stir to combine.
Arrange chicken in a single layer on a hot grill and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. When the meat starts to lose its pink, start to baste regularly with reduced marinade. Continue to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
