These Mango Habanero Wings are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, making them a hit for any gathering or game day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1–2 habanero peppers, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the wings out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the mango puree, minced habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and well combined.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the mango habanero sauce until thoroughly coated.
- Return the coated wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the number of habanero peppers based on your heat preference.
- For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for the last few minutes of baking.
