How to Make Asian Mango Glazed Chicken Twists
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re using that method, or heat a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer to sear. That makes it super flexible for your busy weeknights!
In a bowl, whisk together about 1 cup of mango puree, ¼ cup of soy sauce, ⅓ cup of honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. You’ll want to whisk this until it’s well combined, get those flavors mingling!
Option 1 – Oven-Baked: Place your chicken breasts on a lined or greased baking sheet. Brush generously with the mango glaze you just made! Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and any juices run clear. Your kitchen will smell divine during this!
Option 2 – Skillet-Seared: In your preheated skillet, add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once it’s hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 6-7 minutes on each side. Once you’ve got a nice golden brown color, brush the remaining mango glaze on top. Cover, letting it cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve it up! The best part is watching everyone dive in…
There you go, easy-peasy, right? You’ll enjoy those juicy, glazed twists that are loaded with flavor. It’s literally that simple!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Dish
I like to serve my Mango Glazed Chicken Twists over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa. Sometimes, I’ll throw in a side of steamed broccoli or a vibrant salad for that complete meal vibe.
Storage
This dish stores beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just let it cool down completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Reheating Instructions
The best way to reheat it is in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until heated through. You could also pop it in a skillet over low heat to warm it up slowly if you’re concerned about drying it out.
Freezer Friendly
Yes! You can freeze the cooked chicken for up to a month. I recommend freezing it without the glaze to keep the chicken from becoming mushy when thawed and reheated. Just add the glaze back on when you’re ready to enjoy it again!
So there you have it! Quick, easy, and oh-so-satisfying. This Asian Mango Glazed Chicken Twists recipe will quickly become a staple in your home. I can’t wait for you to try it!
The smell… oh, it’s just divine and so exciting, really! You’re gonna want to make this dish on repeat.
