    Devilled Chicken

    Published: Jun 23, 2023 by Radwa ·

    Jump to Recipe

    My devilled chicken is soft, juicy and flavorful, and the marinade is SOOOO good.

    This dish isn't too spicy, though; I have adjusted the spiciness level of this dish to a mild level by adding Mango chutney with its sweet and tangy flavors.

    Devilled Chicken

    Devilled chicken is an easy old-fashioned dish made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated in a spicy devilling sauce and then grilled.

    The tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce bring a mild sweetness that complements the heat, creating an amazing combo.

    The dish is AMAZING and perfect for weeknight dinners. Ah, and suitable for children, as I mentioned, it is not too hot.

    Do you know why they call this recipe that name?? Well "Devilling" is an old-fashioned cooking technique or cooking process In which you season meat or chicken with spicy ingredients such as chili powder or hot sauce. I believe it is a popular British cooking term.

    I serve them on top of a bowl of Chimichurri Rice or with Vegetarian Sausage Rolls or  Pan Fried Green Beans.

    You'll Need

    Labeled ingredients for making the recipe.

    "See the recipe card below for more information about the ingredients and quantities."

    Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs. I prefer chicken thighs because they give a more juicy and tender texture to this recipe compared with other cuts. Plus, using boneless and skinless chicken thighs ensure that the marinade will be completely absorbed by the chicken flesh. They are also convenient to make the cooking time faster compared to using bone-in cuts, perfect for grilling!

    Tomato Sauce. Tomato sauce puts a delightful tanginess to this recipe.

    Seasonings: I used chili powder, mustard powder, black pepper and salt.

    Note: Feel free to add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard instead of mustard powder.

    Worcestershire Sauce

    Mango Chutney. Mango chutney enhances the marinade of this recipe since it adds tangy, sweet, and savory flavors that complement well with the fiery hot flavor.

    Avocado Oil. I like adding some avocado oil to the marinade mixture to ensure the chicken thighs remain moist and juicy after cooking! You may use olive oil instead.

    How To Make Devilled Chicken?

    Steps of making the marinade.

    One - Make The Marinade: In a mixing bowl, mix together Worcestershire sauce, mango chutney, avocado oil, mustard powder, chili powder, tomato sauce, salt and pepper until combined (photo 1 &2).

    Two - Prepare The Chicken: Wash the chicken thighs and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

    Toss the chicken into the marinade. Grill the chicken.

    Three - Marinate the chicken: Toss them into the marinade bowl and mix well until completely covered with the marinade. Cover the bowl with a cling film and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight (photo 3).

    Four - Grill The Chicken: Heat the grill, then place chicken on a single layer on the grill and cook over medium heat for 6-7 on each side; serve warm (photo 4).

    Tip: While grilling, baste the chicken with extra sauce to keep the it moist.
