Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 1.5 lbs fresh or thawed chicken wings
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Mango Chili Sauce

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1–2 chili peppers (fresh) or 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to heat preference)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Season the wings lightly with salt and black pepper to infuse basic flavor.
  2. Make the Mango Chili Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine peeled and chopped mango, chopped chili peppers or chili flakes, minced garlic, lime juice, honey or brown sugar, soy sauce (or tamari), and a pinch of salt. Blend until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook the Wings: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned wings and cook 8-10 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Alternatively, bake in the oven or use an air fryer to achieve a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
  4. Toss Wings in Sauce: Pour the prepared mango chili sauce into the pan with the cooked wings. Toss thoroughly to coat each wing evenly and let simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and sticks to the wings.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the wings to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, or thinly sliced red chili for added freshness and color. Serve with preferred dips or side dishes.

Notes

  • Pat wings dry for the crispiest skin.
  • Adjust chili quantity gradually to achieve your preferred spice level.
  • Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and vibrant flavor.
  • Cook wings in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.
  • Let the wings rest a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
