Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup mango, peeled and diced
• 2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 2

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the mango habanero sauce. In a blender, combine the diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil.

Step 6

Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce. Taste and adjust sweetness or heat as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 9

Pour the mango habanero sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Step 10

Serve the wings immediately, garnished with lime wedges or chopped cilantro if desired.
