- Marinate chicken at least 2 or up to 48 hours. (I always make it at least a day ahead for more flavor.).

Sauce: (Can be made up a day ahead or frozen and re-heated) :
- In a food processor, puree mangoes.
- Add the juice of 1 orange, 1 lime, 1/4 cup rum, butter, honey, cilantro and salt.
- Mix in processor and transfer to saucepan.
- Add whole (not chopped) habanero into saucepan and heat on medium heat until the sauce has your preferred amount of heat.
- Remove pepper. (If it is still not hot enough after 20 minutes, remove pepper and dice. Slowly add until it is to your taste.
- Grill chicken and pour sauce over chicken when plating. Tastes great with my posted Coconut Rice, Recipe #312530.
