1/2 c raspberries (optional)

In a large bowl, combine soy, oil, garlic, ginger, juniper berries,

and orange peel. Add chicken; marinate 15 minute, turning often.

Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut skin from mangoes. Cut 2 rounded

cheeks from each pit. Trim remaining 1/2-inch of flesh from edge of

each mango; mince these trimmings and reserve for mango vinaigrette.

Cut and discard peel and white membrane from oranges. Slice each

orange crosswise into 6 rounds; set aside.

Combine coriander, five spice, salt, pepper. Lift chicken from

marinade; place on a baking sheet (reserve marinade for basting). Set

mango cheeks on a lightly oiled grill above a solid bed of hot coals

in a barbecue with a lid, or use a gas grill on high heat (you can

hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas

grill. Baste chicken and mango with reserved marinade. Using a

spatula, turn chicken and mangoes when they start to brown, in about

5 minutes. Baste again; cover barbecue. Let chicken and mango cook

until no pink remains when chicken is cut in thickest part, about 15

to 20 minutes; turn and baste chicken and mangoes every 5 minutes

(depending on mango ripeness, cooking time may be less than for the

chicken; remove mangoes when soft and seared).

Meanwhile, combine minced mango with vinegar and mustard. Mix with

frisee and lettuce. Evenly divide among 4 dinner plates.

Lay mangoes cut side down; slice each into 3/8-inch wide slices,

starting 1/2 inch from top down through wide bottom end. With a wide

spatula, transfer slices to plates atop greens. Gently fan slices

apart. Lay chicken and oranges next to mangoes; sprinkle with

raspberries.
