SPICED CHICKEN LEGS WITH MANGO SALAD
This is another recipe which is lower in carbs than most, I have said before I have been trying to cook lower carb meals recently as per my hubby's request. This fine by me as it gives me a chance to eat a bit lighter as well. I like to mix it up and not cook low carb every night as I prefer to throw in some starchy carbs 1-2 times a week for balance. This is a very light refreshing meal with the mango salad and is probably more of a summertime dish but we have had some mild weather here again so it was a nice dish that did not over heat the house to much. This dish contains approximately 17g of carbohydrates per serving and 42g protein, if you want to add some carbs to make this more filling just toss some rice noodles in with the salad.

Steps:
- Mix coriander, cumin, termeric, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Season chicken with kosher salt and add to skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle reserved spice mix over. Toss several times to coat and let chicken sit in skillet until cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
- Whisk lime juice and remaining 5 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season dressing with kosher salt.
- Arrange lettuce, chicken, avocado, mango, onion, and tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and red pepper flakes and scatter herbs over.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken legs for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more juicy and flavorful.
- Use a variety of spices in the marinade. This will give the chicken a complex and interesting flavor. Some good spices to use include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken legs in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken legs over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
- Make sure the chicken legs are cooked through before serving. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken legs with the mango salad. The sweet and tangy flavors of the mango salad will complement the spicy chicken legs perfectly.
Conclusion:
This recipe for spiced chicken legs with mango salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken legs are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then grilled or roasted until they are cooked through. The mango salad is made with fresh mango, red onion, cilantro, and a lime dressing. The two dishes are served together for a refreshing and flavorful meal.
