Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching one another. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango tamarind sauce. Peel and dice the mango, then add it to a blender. Add tamarind concentrate, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and water. Blend until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them into a large bowl. Pour the warm mango tamarind sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of celery sticks for a complete treat.
