Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small ripe mango
- 1 medium habanero pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and a wire rack.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss them well to coat.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. Peel and cube the mango, and remove the seeds from the habanero pepper (wear gloves to avoid skin irritation).
In a blender, combine the cubed mango, habanero pepper, lime juice, erythritol sweetener, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the blended sauce mixture into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat each wing evenly.
Arrange the coated wings back on the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
Remove from the oven and serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges if desired.
