Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 medium mango, peeled and diced
- 1 medium habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with olive oil.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with gluten-free baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. This step ensures crispy skin.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a blender, combine the diced mango, chopped habanero pepper, lime juice, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the blended sauce to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Place them in a large bowl.
Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and gently toss until the wings are well coated in the sauce.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
