Key Ingredients
To make this simple and delicious Grilled Curry Mango Chicken in the comfort of home, all you need is: chicken thighs (bone-in and skin on for maximum chicken flavor), salt, freshly cracked black pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, mango chutney (or apricot preserves), and cayenne pepper (for heat).
I specifically made this recipe with chicken thighs to keep the chicken tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. This recipe can be made with either bone in or boneless chicken thighs, as well as chicken legs (you’ll just have to adjust the cooking time).
I personally prefer skin-on chicken for the extra crispy skin! If you make this recipe with boneless chicken breasts, just make sure to lower the cooking time so it doesn’t overcook.
How To Make Grilled Curry Mango Chicken
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry, then seasoning them with salt and pepper. This helps to get the crispy skin on the outside.
- Inn a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients — curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder and mango chutney.
- Set aside the sauce, and preheat your grill.
- When the grill is hot, cook the chicken for 5 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- When the chicken is finished cooking, brush on the sauce, and serve immediately! You can serve extra to dip in as well.

Storage, Freezing, and Reheating Instructions
- Store leftover grilled chicken thighs in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat leftover grilled chicken in the oven or air fryer to re-crisp the skin. Otherwise, you can reheat it in the microwave until warmed through.
- While you can freeze these grilled chicken thighs, we don’t recommend it unless you plan to bake or air fry them when reheating.
