I had mango chicken once, and ever since, I've been on a mission
to recreate it. That journey led me to two delicious recipe creations: a light,
grilled mango chicken and a deep, rich mango curry. Both deserve their own
spotlight, so keep an eye out for the curry version coming soon. In
the meantime, this grilled mango chicken is the perfect way to
celebrate mango season in all its glory.
This recipe is quick, simple, and effortlessly impressive, one of those
dishes that looks like you've spent hours in the kitchen when you really
haven't. The juicy chicken is infused with a
sweet-and-savoury mango marinade, making it ideal for easy
weeknight dinners or relaxed summer braais/BBQs. It's also incredibly versatile
and can easily be transformed into a grilled Mango Chicken Burger, which is my favourite, and it truly tastes like summer in every bite.
I've made this recipe quite a few times, experimenting with both the
optional and core ingredients, and it never disappoints. If your mango isn't as sweet as you'd like, a touch of honey
balances the tartness beautifully, creating a well-rounded flavour
profile.
For an extra layer of flavour, I love adding jerk spice; it pairs
surprisingly well with the mango marinade and brings a subtle warmth to
the dish. It's also a great way to use up a spice you may have sitting in your cupboard, while giving this
grilled mango chicken a slightly different twist each time you make it.
Serve it alongside a fresh summer salad with juicy mango pieces and a
vibrant mango dressing (click here for the recipe) for the ultimate mango-licious meal.

@spicyfusionkitchen Mango Grilled Chicken 🤤🥠One can never have tok many chicken recipes. In that you can also take advantage of mango season with this easy recipe. It's great for meal prep, and can be made in many different ways; in the oven or grilled, braai/BBQ, you can even turn it into a chicken burger. #mangochicken#mango#food#easyrecipe#foodtiktok♬ suara asli - Moon Bollywood 🌜
These are 2 recipes my aunty Fatima made to accompany the akni + dhay recipe previously posted. Goes well with traditional Indian rice dishes, perfect for a Friday lunch. Mind I only have a picture of one of them, sorry about that. When I try and make this next time I will defiantly take a better picture and update this post.
I will also say, I know in southern africa achaar masala is sold almost everywhere, if you are international you can try checking in the supermarket in the Indian section, you can check at the spice shop or you can look up a recipe online. I personally don't know how to make it, but I will check for the best recipe to post up so anyone can make for themselves.
ONIONS KACHOOMAR
Slice up some onions and soak them in salt water.
Than drain them out.
Make a seperate mix of apricot jam and green masala.
Mix this with the onions.
Serve with the the Indian rice dish.
APPLE KACHOOMAR
Chop up some apples, cucumbers and carrots.
Add achaar masala and lemon juice.
Mix well and also this can be served with an Indian rice dish.
Hey, I’m Zainab — cooking (and eating) is how I embrace my chubby cheeks, and bring a little joy to the kitchen! I love blending flavours, spices, and cultures to create recipes that are as fun to make as they are to eat. Think bold spices, fusion twists, and meals that are fancy enough to impress but easy enough to whip up any day of the week.
Every recipe I share is something we’ve actually eaten at home — no food styling fakery here (well, maybe just a bit of garnish magic). My step-by-step photos and videos walk you through every stage, so whether you're a kitchen newbie or a seasoned pro, you’ll plate up something delicious and beautiful in no time.
