Instructions
Creating Spicy Mango Habanero Chicken Wings is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy texture. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Bake the Wings: Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Make the Sauce: While the wings are baking, combine the diced mango, chopped habanero peppers, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
5. Toss the Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
6. Bake Again: Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce and enhance the flavors.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
