If you love chilies, you will love this tropical-inspired stew that features chicken and mango, in a coconut-based sauce.
The recipe uses a chicken Maryland cut (joined thigh and drumstick) but you can exchange it for just thighs, just drumsticks, or even a parted full chicken.
Feel free to adjust the chili volume and style to your personal preference. If you like it really mild, some of the chilies can be exchanged for red capsicum (red bell pepper).

Directions
- Wash and pat dry chicken pieces then season with salt and pepper, add to a large bowl then pour enough brine to cover the chicken. Chill for 3 to 12 hours. Tip: Use your favorite brine for this but pineapple-based brine really fits in with the tropical theme.
