GRILLED RED CHILE BUTTERMILK CHICKEN WITH SPICY MANGO HONEY GLAZE
Steps:
- For the mango honey glaze: Heat the oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the mangoes and cook until soft and juicy, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, orange and pineapple juices, 3 tablespoons honey and the chile de arbol and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender and carefully blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and more honey if needed. The mixture should be a thick puree. If too thick, thin with a touch of water. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
- For the chicken: Whisk together the buttermilk, chile powders, coriander, granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika and cinnamon in a large baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours, turning a few times.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Place the chicken on a baking rack set over a baking sheet, return to the refrigerator and let sit, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill for indirect grilling.
- Brush the chicken on both sides with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill directly over the heat and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over and continue grilling until the bottom is golden brown. Move to the cooler side of the grill, close the cover and continue grilling until cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. During the last few minutes, brush with some of the mango honey glaze. Remove to a platter and drizzle with more of the glaze.
SPICY GRILLED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN
Grilling tends to dry chicken but brining in buttermilk first ensures tender and juicy chicken. For this recipe, I seasoned the buttermilk with chipotle, coriander, cumin, and lime to give it a spicy Southwest flair.

Tips:
- Choose the right buttermilk: Use fresh, full-fat buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed to get good results.
- Use a grill pan or outdoor grill: A grill pan or outdoor grill will give the chicken a nice smoky flavor. If you're using an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Grilled buttermilk chicken goes well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
