Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large ripe mango
- 2 small habanero peppers
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat.
In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the wings with the spices and oil.
Spread the seasoned wings out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. Peel and dice the mango, and deseed and finely chop the habanero peppers. Be cautious when handling habaneros and consider wearing gloves to avoid irritation.
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, chopped habanero peppers, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place in a large bowl. Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and toss to ensure they're evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lime wedges or chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Whole30 Mango Habanero Wings as a flavorful appetizer or main dish!
