Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup mango, peeled and diced
- 2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a blender, combine the diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil.
Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce. Taste and adjust sweetness or heat as desired.
Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Serve the wings immediately, garnished with lime wedges or chopped cilantro if desired.
