Spiced Rum Sugar Chicken With Mango Mojito Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Place all Marinade ingredients in a pan and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Simmer 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from catching then leave to cool completely.
• Cut three or four deep slashes through the skin side of each chicken breast. Pour over marinade, making sure that all the chicken is well coated and that the marinade has penetrated the slashes. Leave for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight for the flavours to develop.
• When nearly read to cook the chicken, peel the Mango and cut the flesh into ½ inch dice. Add the scallions / spring onion.
• Grate the lime zest and add to the Mango, along with the chili pepper.
• Squeeze lime juice and stir into the salsa with the white rum and mint. Refrigerate for one to two hours for the flavours to develop.
• Preheat grill.
• Remove chicken from the marinade, scraping any extra marinade off.
• Place remaining marinade in a pan and heat gently.
• Grill chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes each side, until cooked through.
• Serve chicken with reserved spiced rum sauce and the Mango Mojito Salsa.

Steps:

• Whisk the rum, orange juice, orange zest, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and cilantro together in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on the grill and cook until browned on both sides and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side, basting with leftover marinade a few times throughout. Serve sprinkled with cilantro and garnish with the orange slices.

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small sauce pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• For the mojito: Combine the mint, lime wedges, jalapeno and 3/4 ounce of the simple syrup (1 1/2 tablespoons) in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Fill the shaker with the ice, pour in the rum and mango nectar and shake briefly. Pour directly into a highball glass. Top off with the sparkling water and stir briefly. Garnish with a mint sprig and jalapeno slice.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cayenne. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cashews and sugar-spice mixture to the skillet; cook, stirring, until nuts are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape nuts into a bowl.
• Wipe out skillet with a paper towel. Season chicken all over with salt and remaining 1 teaspoon pepper. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add scallions and cilantro stems; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add garlic and chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Pour in the rum and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the rum evaporates, about 1 minute.
• Remove pan from heat and immediately add nuts, mango, vinegar and cilantro leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and sear the chicken thighs until browned well, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the rice, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 cup of the mango salsa. Stir and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back to the top of the rice, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken and rice are cooked through, 17 to 20 minutes.
• Serve up a pile of rice, topped with the chicken and garnished with additional mango salsa.

Steps:

• Place the mint leaves, lime wedges, and ice into a cocktail shaker; mash well with a cocktail muddler. Pour in the simple syrup, lime juice, rum, cranberry juice, and soda water. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass to serve.

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, 1/2 cup rum, and next 4 ingredients in bowl. Place chicken in resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over; seal bag. Turn bag to distribute marinade. Chill 4 hours, turning bag twice.
• Place lime quarters in shallow bowl. Pour remaining 2 tablespoons rum over, tossing to coat. Let stand at room temperature.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, about 15 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
• Grill limes until soft and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Garnish platter with mint sprigs. Squeeze grilled limes over chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Purée mangoes in blender or processor until smooth. Transfer 1 1/2 cups purée to medium bowl (reserve remaining purée for another use). Mix yogurt, 4 tablespoons sugar, spiced rum, fresh lime juice, and chopped mint into purée. Sweeten sauce to taste with more sugar, if desired. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
