Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 large Mango, ripe
• 2 tbsp Tamarind concentrate
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• 3 tbsp Water
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.

Step 2

In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Toss until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching one another. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the mango tamarind sauce. Peel and dice the mango, then add it to a blender. Add tamarind concentrate, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and water. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended sauce into the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them into a large bowl. Pour the warm mango tamarind sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Serve the wings hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of celery sticks for a complete treat.
