Instructions
Make Marinade
Blend all marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Marinate and Cook Chicken
Rub marinade under chicken skin. Divide chicken between two sealable plastic bags. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, then turn bags over several times to distribute marinade. Put bags of chicken in a shallow pan and marinate, chilled, turning once or twice, 1 day.
Let chicken stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
If cooking the chicken in the oven, roast chicken in two large baking pans in the upper and lower thirds of at 400 degrees, switching the position of the pans halfway through the roasting, 40-45 minutes total. If grilling the chicken, see recipe for instructions.
Make the Mango Salsa
In a medium bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Serve immediately or store the salsa in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
