Ingredients

• 1 large (about 1 cup, diced) Ripe mango
• 2 whole Habanero pepper
• 3 medium Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the ripe mango into small pieces, discarding the pit.

Step 2

Carefully remove the stems from the habanero peppers. If you prefer slightly less heat, remove the seeds as well. Wear gloves to avoid skin irritation.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the diced mango, habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée it until smooth. Be cautious, as hot liquids can expand when blended; blend in batches if needed.

Step 10

Return the sauce to the saucepan and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Simmer the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 12

Once the sauce is ready, toss freshly baked or fried chicken wings in the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mango Garlic Habanero Chicken Wings!
