Jerk Rubbed Chicken Breasts with Home-Made Mango-Jalepeno Hot Sauce

I have been waiting to try this recipe for awhile.  My husband and I both like hot things so I figured that we would both like it, the trick was finding mangoes at a reasonable price.  After much waiting the mango's were finally found and the hot sauce was made.  When I looked at the Bobby Flay recipe again today however I had my doubts, how would cloves, cinnamon and allspice taste on a chicken breast and how well would it go with my hot sauce?  I must admit I was pleasantly surprised the flavours mixed well together.  My husband even commented saying that the chicken was good and asked what was on it, I coyly said "Oh just a spice rub that I made".  However beware, the hot sauce really is hot, so if you don't like heat I suggest toning back on the jalapeno's. I also made a simple risotto and added some proscuitto to go with this meal.  I thought it worked nicely to balance the heat in the chicken and I needed to use up the rest of my prosciutto.  Here is the link for the original bobby flay chicken and mango hot sauce recipe.

Ingredients
Jerk Rub:
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cayenne powder
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
2 teaspoons dry thyme
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
8 chicken thighs
Sliced fresh mango
Homemade Mango Jalepeno Sauce, recipe follows
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Directions
Combine all spices in a small bowl. Rub the skin side of the chicken with the rub and let rest for 30 minutes. Heat the grill to medium heat and grill the thighs, skin side down for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the chicken, close the cover of the grill and move the chicken to the side (or cooler part) of the grill. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes or until completely cooked through. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve fresh mango slices and Mango-Jalepeno Hot Sauce. Sprinkle leaves of cilantro on top.

Homemade Mango-Jalepeno Sauce:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 jalepenos, chopped
1 cup white wine vinegar
Salt
Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, mangoes, jalepeno and vinegar and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of warm water or vinegar. Season with salt.
