Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 medium mango, peeled and diced
• 1 medium habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with gluten-free baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. This step ensures crispy skin.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a blender, combine the diced mango, chopped habanero pepper, lime juice, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Transfer the blended sauce to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 7

Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and gently toss until the wings are well coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
