BBQ Chicken With Mango Tajin Salsa

Tajin is a popular Mexican flavor because of it's versatility to use in both sweet and savory recipes. It pairs perfectly with fresh tropical fruit and BBQ grilled chicken thanks to the tasty blend of chili peppers, sea salt and lime that brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit to compliment the tangy BBQ sauce on the grilled chicken.

Ingredients & Directions

Directions

Barbecue Chicken

3 tablespoons
BBQ seasoning
1/2 cup
BBQ sauce plus more for topping before serving
3
  1. Place chicken breasts in a disposable plastic food bag, add BBQ seasoning and the sauce.
  2. Shake well to evenly coat each piece of chicken with the rub and sauce.
  3. Set aside while preheating grill and prepping salsa.
  4. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F with an instant read thermometer. Remove from grill and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  5. Brush with extra BBQ sauce, slice and serve with salsa and over a bed of rice of greens.

Notes:

  • You can substitute 5-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the breasts.
  • You can put the chicken, seasoning and sauce together the day before and store in fridge overnight until ready to throw on the pre-heated grill for cooking.
  • Create an indirect heat zone on your grill to prevent the sugary BBQ rub and sauce from burning. Move the pieces of chicken to this zone if the chicken begins to char or burn before reaching the proper temperature.
