Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Mango, ripe and peeled
- 2 small Habanero peppers, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are well-coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a blender, combine the peeled mango, minced habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, onion powder, and paprika. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Transfer the blended sauce to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors and slightly thicken.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the warm mango habanero sauce over them. Toss well to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or main dish, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
