Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6.
- Pop the chicken thighs into a roasting tray. Add a glug of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and a generous handful of thyme. Roast in preheated oven till skin is brown and crispy (approx 40 mins).
- Fry one onion in a large pan until soft; keep the other one for later. When the onion is done add your tomatoes, a few chopped sprigs of thyme, brown sugar, one chilli (the other one’s for the salsa), balsamic vinegar, tomato purée, lemon juice, cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce till thick and sticky.
- Whilst the jam is bubbling away whip up your salsa. Pop your mango, red onion, avocado, coriander and chilli in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to your lime juice, taste and drizzle over the salsa.
- Toast a slice of bread per person, smother with the chilli jam and pop your roasted chicken thigh on top. Serve with the salsa and a little extra jam if you fancy it.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6.
