Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over 4 bone-in chicken thighs.
2. Step 2: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
3. Step 3: While the chicken roasts, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 large diced ripe mango, 1 small finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 small minced jalapeño in a bowl. Mix gently and refrigerate.
4. Step 4: Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve the roasted chicken topped with the fresh mango salsa for a bright, flavorful contrast.
