Enjoy Mango Habanero Chicken Wings for an easy dinner that brings spicy heat with a sweet touch. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or family dinner featuring baked chicken wings glazed with habanero wing sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings – cut into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup mango – diced
  • 1–3 habanero peppers – stem removed and deseeded if desired (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 400F and prepare a baking pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, coat the chicken wings evenly with avocado or olive oil and season fully with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, mixing well.
  3. Arrange the wings spread out on the pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, turning once midway, until they reach 165F inside.
  4. Take the wings out and switch your oven to broil mode.
  5. Coat the wings thoroughly with the mango habanero sauce. Place them back on the pan and broil for 3 to 5 minutes so the sauce caramelizes nicely; then remove.
  6. Serve the wings on a platter with chopped green onions and drizzle with extra sauce on top.
  7. While wings bake, blend diced mango, habanero peppers, vinegar, tamari sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ginger powder until smooth.
  8. Cook this sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until thick and glossy.
  9. Strain the sauce to remove seeds and pulp, then use it to toss the wings or store chilled for up to one day.

Notes

  • The amount of habanero peppers depends on your spice preference
  • Using seeds in only part of the peppers balances flavor and heat
  • Handle habaneros with gloves and wash hands carefully to avoid irritation
  • Verify all ingredients are gluten-free if needed
  • Tamari is a gluten-free soy sauce alternative but soy sauce can be used if gluten is not a concern
  • Air fryer cooking: Arrange wings in a single layer, air fry at 400F for 18 minutes flipping once, toss with sauce, then air fry for an additional 5 minutes to make sauce sticky
