Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

2

In a bowl, mix together the coconut milk, curry powder, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and salt to create a marinade.

3

Place the chicken in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

4

Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor. While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a bowl.

5

Season with salt to taste and set aside. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan.

6

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7

Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade halfway through cooking for extra flavor. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

8

Serve the sliced chicken topped with the mango salsa for a burst of freshness and flavor.
