While trying to decide what to do with some chicken wings, Stephen (The Obsessive Chef), asked me if I had any ideas on a glaze for them. He explained to me that he was going to use Indian spices on the chicken and my mind went immediately to mango! For some reason, those two always go together. Check out Stephen's recipe HERE.
Well, I of course didn't have the exact spice he used, so I figured I'd make my own little concoction. The only thing I would have done different would have been to add a tiny bit of turmeric instead of the curry powder. I didn't think I had turmeric, so I left it out, only to find out two days later that I did indeed have turmeric, I just didn't look deep enough in the cabinet! Oh well.. this was still a really fantastic meal!
What helped make it so delicious, were the very simple, very wonderful smashed potatoes (first seen on For the Love of Cooking). Mine don't look that pretty.. sort of plain.. but they were ever so delicious. Did I mention how simple they were to make too? Only thing I will do differently next time (cause there will be a next time) is to add some parmesan cheese right after taking them out of the oven.

Creative meal Jenn - next time I'm in Phoenix, I'll come buy and rate your cooking for a week or so. Except when Bev is using them a lot, we keep our spices in alphabetical order - helps us find them easy and not end up with several containers of the same ones.
Of course someone would ask your opinion! You know about grilling, smoking, sauces, spices ... you are absolutely a "go to" girl!!! :)
I love those crash potatoes! I tried them the same night that I first saw them online. YUM! Your sauce looks awesome and for what it's worth, I have come and looked up ideas here numerous times. You are my sauce girl! ;)
Both these recipes sound delicious. I love how yogurt tenderizes chicken and yours is also beautifully seasoned. It looks scrumptious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Mango and Indian flavors are a match made in heaven! Sounds really tasty. I have a similar turmeric issue here, I thought I was out so I bought more and wow, I have 3 bottles worth now! Looks like I need to make some Indian food soon :) The smashed potatoes are so cute, I love them that way, all the crusty outside of a baked potato and the smooth creamy inside of a baby potato. Win :)
Please send me some of this right now. This is another one of those 'Jenn' recipes that's going in my Documents file! Mango yogurt, how delicious! And Jenn, where did you get this violent streak that you've taken to smashing the potatoes? lol
How nice to be "borrowed."
looks wonderful Jenn! I can't tell you how many times I haven't dug deep enough into the cabinet and then end up buying more of a spice I already have! I end up with like 3 cumins and 0 of something else! Thanks for sharing this delicius recipe!
What a great combination of flavors... love the mango!! Don't you just love those smashed potatoes? We really dig them here. Thanks for the shout out and link back to my site.
This sounds really good! And I fully understand why someone would ask you about cooking; you're great at it!
Tiene una pinta estupenda.
Un besito ^^

I love this type of flavor combination. Sounds delicious. And you bet, I love it when people ask me how to make something, or what I'd do with a recipe.
Yum! Mango is one of my most favorite flavors. The chicken looks fantastic and will be on our menu soon. Thanks for reminding me about those potatoes. We call them "ugly potatoes" around here because mine never turn out pretty; but they always turn out amazing. We love them!
My spices are a disaster...I can never find anything. I love the flavors in this chicken.
Fantastic, Jenn! I love everything about this one.
