Ingredients

800 g chicken thigh fillets trimmed
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs Portuguese spice mix
1/4 cup oregano leaves only

Saute chilli mango

2 Calypso mangoes diced peeled
1 cup white sugar
2 limes juiced large
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup water
1 long red chilli finely chopped seeds left
4 spring onions thinly sliced

Method

Step 1

Chicken: Cut the chicken into 2cm pieces. Combine the oil and spice mix in a large bowl. Add the chicken and oregano. Stir to coat. Thread chicken onto 8 skewers. Cover and refrigerate while making the saute chilli mango.
Step 2

Saute chilli mango: Pour sugar into a non-stick frying pan. Place over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until melted and deep golden colour. Remove from heat, add combined lime juice, fish sauce and water (be careful mixture may spit). Return to heat and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the toffee dissolves and syrup is smooth. Bring to the boil and boil gently for 5-8 minutes until syrup thickens, stir in the chilli. Add the mango and toss gently until mango is well coated. Remove from the heat, scatter over the spring onions.
Step 3

Preheat a barbecue plate or grill over medium high heat until hot. Barbecue chicken skewers for 10 minutes, turning often until cooked through. Serve with saute chilli mango.
