Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large mango, peeled and chopped
- 2 small habanero peppers, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until all wings are evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero glaze. In a blender, combine the chopped mango, diced habanero peppers, lime juice, honey, coconut aminos, and melted coconut oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mango habanero sauce into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Once the chicken wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the thickened glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the wings hot as an appetizer or main dish, and enjoy the tangy and spicy flavors!
