Instructions:
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mini-chopper, combine the butter, 1 tablespoon of mango chutney, chopped coriander, and half of the salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. |
| 2 | Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap, shaping it into a small log. Twist the ends of the wrap to seal the butter log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. |
| 3 | Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the fleshy side of each chicken leg, creating a pocket while keeping the skin attached at the edges. |
| 4 | Spread the remaining mango chutney under the loosened skin of each chicken leg. Smooth the skin over the chutney to ensure even coverage. |
| 5 | Sprinkle the chicken legs with the remaining salt and pepper. |
| 6 | Preheat your grill to medium heat and grease the grates. Place the chicken legs on the grill, skin side down. Close the lid and cook, turning once, for about 45 minutes or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. |
| 7 | Alternatively, you can cook the chicken on a broiler pan in the oven, positioning it about 6 inches from the heat source. |
| 8 | To serve, slice the chilled butter log into 4 coins and place one on each chicken leg. Enjoy your flavorful and tender Chicken with Chutney Butter! 🍗🥭 |
