To achieve the perfect texture for your Fiery Mango Habanero Wings, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for rendering the fat from the wings while simultaneously crisping the skin. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup. Bake the wings for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy when done.

Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup ripe mango, diced

2 habanero peppers, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust for spice tolerance)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.

    Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

      Make the Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the fiery mango habanero sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, chopped habaneros, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning if needed.

        Toss the Wings: Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the mango habanero sauce over the hot wings, tossing until they are evenly coated in the sauce.

          Final Bake: Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C) to caramelize the sauce.

            Serve: Take out the wings, let them cool slightly, and then plate them. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
