Description
Mango Habanero Chicken Wings are cooked till crispy before being coated in a sweet, spicy, and sour sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds chicken wings
Sauce
- 1/2 cup pureed mango, (1 mango)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 to 3 habanero peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Discard the wing tips and cut the wings into three sections. Using paper towels, blot dry.
- Place the wings in a large mixing basin. Combine the flour, cornstarch, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir to evenly coat the wings.
- Place the wings, skin side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place in the oven for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Prepare the Mango Habanero Sauce while the wings bake. In a food processor, combine mango puree, garlic, and peppers until the garlic and peppers are very finely diced.
- Add vinegar, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, and paprika to the mixture in a small pot. For a few minutes, bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the butter.
- After 45 minutes, coat the wings with sauce and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Brush them with more sauce and serve with any remaining sauce for dipping. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing, if desired.
Notes
I recommend using gloves when chopping the habanero peppers to avoid getting any on your hands.
In a food processor, puree a peeled and pitted mango until smooth. Then take 1/2 cup puree and measure it out.
