Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons lowfat plain yogurt
2 cups frozen mango chunks
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
2 small cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 ears corn, shucked
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt
6 cups mixed salad greens
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • To make the smoothies, combine 2 cups of the yogurt, 2 cups ice, 1 cup of the mango and all of the honey in a blender, and blend until very smooth. Divide among four glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve. Rinse out the blender.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the remaining 1 cup mango, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup of the vinegar, the raisins, olive oil, cayenne, tomatoes and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and microwave until the tomatoes are soft, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly and puree in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the dressing, the rest will be used for tossing with the chicken.
  • Place the corn on the grill, cover and cook, turning as needed, until nicely charred, about 10 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
  • Turn the grill down to medium and brush the grates with some of the oil. Toss the chicken thighs with half of the remaining sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange on the grill and cook until nicely marked and the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to10 minutes per side. Baste a few times with the remaining sauce while grilling.
  • While the chicken cooks, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons yogurt, the reserved 2 tablespoons sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Toss the mixed greens and carrots together. Divide the chicken, corn and salad among four dinner plates. Drizzle the greens with the reserved dressing. Serve each plate with a mango smoothie.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Chicken: Ensure your chicken is thawed and patted dry before cooking to achieve crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Create a Flavorful Marinade: Combine tangy BBQ sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and olive oil in a bowl. This mixture will infuse the chicken with a symphony of flavors.
  • Marinate Your Chicken: Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This step allows the marinade to deeply penetrate the chicken, resulting in maximum flavor.
  • Preheat Your Grill: Prepare your grill for indirect heat, aiming for a temperature of around 325-350°F (163-177°C). This low and slow cooking method will help the chicken cook evenly without burning.
  • Grill Your Chicken: Place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill over indirect heat. Cook for approximately 30-40 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Glaze and Baste Regularly: As the chicken cooks, brush it with the remaining marinade every 10-15 minutes. This not only adds flavor but also keeps the chicken moist and prevents it from drying out.
  • Let it Rest: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat.

Conclusion:

With these detailed tips and techniques, you'll be able to whip up a batch of tantalizing Sweet and Spicy BBQ Chicken that will become a hit at your next barbecue or family gathering. Remember to marinate your chicken for maximum flavor, grill it slowly over indirect heat, and baste it regularly with the delectable marinade. The combination of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors will create a burst of taste that will leave everyone craving more. So fire up your grill, gather your friends and family, and indulge in the smoky, succulent goodness of this Sweet and Spicy BBQ Chicken.
