Method
step 1
Combine the mango chutney, paprika, 2 tsp of the curry powder and the oil, and season well. Evenly coat the chicken thighs in the mixture and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hr, or up to 4 hrs.
step 2
Light the barbecue. Cook the chicken thighs in a cool spot on the barbecue for 8-10 mins, shuffling around frequently to keep them from burning, until charred and cooked through. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 200C or oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 4 for 15-20 mins until cooked through.
step 3
Meanwhile, mix the mayo with a splash of the lime juice and the remaining curry powder. Set aside. Toss the cabbage and carrots with the remaining lime juice, then season to taste.
step 4
Lightly toast the burger buns on the barbecue, cut-side down, until golden. Spread the curry mayo on the bases of the buns. Top with the cooked chicken, a generous spoonful of the slaw and some coriander. Spread extra mango chutney over the bun tops and coat in a layer of crispy fried onions, if using. Sandwich the two halves together to finish the burgers and serve with any remaining slaw.
