Grilled Chicken With Mango Salsa

Submitted by CountryLady

"Submitted for RSC#8: When I think of the Caribbean, the song Hot, Hot, Hot by Buster Poindexter comes to mind ........ but the food doesn't have to be hot. The chicken could also be cooked in the oven or on an indoor grill.The timing doesn't include marinading. Ole, Ole - Ole, Ole!!"

A quick and easy to prepare recipe. I used boneless chicken thighs marinated overnight. I used wine, next time I will use RUM!! I added fresh ginger and thyme, and increased the cilantro to two tablespoons (I love it!) I do not have a grill or BBQ so baked the chicken in the oven. It was delicious when served with the yummy salsa! The chicken was tangy, the salsa sweet - a very nice combo. This would be great on the BBQ. Thanks CL Ole,Ole!
