Mango Habanero Wings are a fiery and tropical twist on traditional chicken wings, combining the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of habanero peppers. This dish is perfect for late-night cravings, offering a burst of flavor that tantalizes the taste buds.

Ingredients

• Chicken wings - 500 grams
• Ripe mango - 1 medium, diced
• Habanero pepper - 1 small, finely chopped
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped habanero, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated wings in a single layer.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the wings and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through.
