Description
Deliciously spicy chicken wings coated in a sweet and tangy mango habanero sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings (I use split/party wings)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1–2 habaneros (chopped, see notes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Season the chicken wings with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and add the wings to the pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the wings.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, combine the ingredients for the sauce using an immersion blender or a standard high-powered blender. Taste the sauce repeatedly and make adjustments to suit your taste.
- Remove the chicken and place it in a large bowl. Drizzle the mango habanero sauce throughout. Reserve 1/3 of the sauce for dipping and drizzling the wings in additional sauce prior to serving.
- Place the sauced chicken wings back onto the sheet pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes (same temperature). Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
- If necessary, spray your air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add the chicken to the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and place it in a large bowl. Drizzle the mango habanero sauce throughout. Reserve 1/3 of the sauce for dipping and drizzling the wings in additional sauce prior to serving.
- Place the sauced chicken wings back into the air fryer. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
Notes
- Adjust the number of habaneros based on your spice preference.
