Method

Start by marinating the chicken. Whisk together the jerk paste, brown sugar, olive oil, lime juice, and salt. Add the chicken thighs, toss well to coat, then leave to sit for at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, remove the skin from the mangos and slice into chunks. Preheat a griddle pan or bbq, and char the mango pieces on all sides. Do the same with spring onions.

Roughly chop the spring onions and mango, add to a bowl with the red onion, lime juice, coriander, avocado, and chilli. Season with salt and a tiny pinch of sugar, and set aside.

Cook the chicken thighs in the same griddle pan. Cook until nicely charred and caramelised on both sides. Slice up.

Serve the chicken in a large flour tortilla with rice, mango salsa, sour cream, and red cabbage. Enjoy!
