Mango & Spiced Rum BBQ Chicken

Tender chicken thighs marinated in a vibrant blend of ripe mangoes and aged spiced rum. Slow-grilled to perfection, the dish combines sweet tropical flavours with a hint of Caribbean spice. The rum-infused marinade caramelises, creating crispy, flavourful edges that bring a touch of island sunshine to every bite.

FireBirds Woodfire BBQ Chicken

I was born in Sierra Leone (West Africa) but grew up in the U.K. My mum is a chef, and my dad taught me how to season and cook meat. I create meals by fusing ingredients from Africa, the Caribbean, and southern America to create unique meals busting with vibrant fresh ingredients and high-quality perfectly cooked meat. I put my own twist on popular traditional meals from each region to give customers a full food tour of Afro-fusion cuisine.

Tasty but the bone in it let it down

I was going to give this a one, but given the other favourable reviews thought better of it. A shame because I enjoyed the meal. There was also a bit of gristle.
I probably won't buy it again, not because of those reasons but because I really couldn't taste the rum. It's a tad hot, but not very. Even with my dislike of heat I was happy with the level here. But I think it was the heat, even if slight, that meant I couldn't taste the rum. That's all down to my taste buds, and we all have different taste buds so I'm not surprised most people liked it. A stronger rum flavour and I would buy it again.

Delicious, great sauce

Mildly spiced, very flavourful chicken, not too sweet or fruity and with a nice hint of smoke. The rim flavour really shines through. My husband loved the sauce so much he had to mop it all up after finishing all the chicken! The chicken itself had a really nice meaty texture, although I did find one very small piece of gristle. Overall, delicious!

Really Tasty

I ate as a big soup with a crusty bread roll to mop up the sauce. Would buy it again but it really needs to sell at normal price with rice or potatoes. The chicken was sliced off a chicken breast but wasn’t checked over enough as I had quite a few inedible bits of cartilage.
