- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger (grated fresh or ground)

- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Reserve and refrigerate extra glaze for future use.

This was OUTSTANDING! I took a page from a couple of other reviewers, and seasoned my chicken breasts with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic sea salt, and a sprinkling of jerk seasoning. They were then grilled. I took part of the mango sauce and put it through a fine sieve, and DH brushed the glaze over at the end of grilling. We topped with the remaining sauce before eating! I only used 1/2 habanero, which was nice heat to follow the sweet! We enjoyed this with a ginger beer. This was terrific, and I can't wait to make it for my friends! Thanks, PanNan, for sharing. Made for ZWT 5.

This makes a very nice glaze PanNan; fruity, hot & spicy, not too sweet. This is a simply wonderful dish. We enjoyed this very much. I used a whole habanero, personal preference, its too cold here to grill, the bbq is frozen, so I baked the chicken in the oven. The chicken was perfect, moist, tender and juicy with a delicious glaze. Made for Best of 2017.

I wanted to use my grill before summer is over and winter is here, so I decided to make this recipe. It's awesome! Love everything about it and will be making this again. There wasn't one in the family who didn't like it. Tasty Tasty! Thank you Pan Nan for sharing! Made it for CQ4, 2017- Central America.

Very, very good! Spicy, sweet, and fruity combined with a boneless chicken breast to create excitement on the plate. I plan to try this next on salmon. Thanks for sharing your creation with the Quest. I was excited to see a RSC contest recipe among the offerings. It reminded me of good times and good friends.

Made for the Central American Region of CQ4 & the Happy Camper team. I admit to 1 addition plus a cpl of method changes, but I honestly feel I kept the intent of your recipe intact. I added garlic as a personal preference, but the rest was purely due to circumstances. I use mango glazes often for several meat types & even seafood on occasion. It has always been excellent & was again. The wings were tender, not at all dry & so well-flavored. We loved them & I expect they will encore often at our table. Thx for sharing this recipe w/the Quest.

So, I realized as I was making this recipe that one of my roommates had eaten the mango that I bought for it. Since I was already committed to making it, I had to put an interesting spin on it that turned out absolutely delicious. Substitute an avocado and the juice of half a lime for the mango, and add the whole habanero. Don't add the orange juice. It ends up being a spicy, delicious guacamole-esque sauce. Serve it over cilantro-lime rice, and it becomes absolute perfection.
