Description
A flavorful dish featuring chicken wings coated in a sweet and spicy mango barbecue sauce, perfect for gatherings and game days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, barbecue sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the mango barbecue marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Baste the wings with the reserved marinade during the last 10 minutes of cooking to enhance the glaze.
Notes
- Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place the wings in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before marinating.
