Ingredients

Scale

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Mango Chili Sauce:

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons chili flakes or sriracha (adjust to desired heat)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. Toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika evenly to coat. Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack to promote even cooking.
  2. Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake wings for 35–40 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking to ensure both sides become golden and crispy. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  3. Make the Mango Chili Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine diced mango, honey or brown sugar, chili flakes or sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Simmer the mixture over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the mango softens and flavors meld. Use a blender or immersion blender to purée the sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer the baked wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared mango chili sauce over the wings and toss gently but thoroughly until each wing is coated with the sauce.
  5. Serve: Serve the mango chili chicken wings immediately, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges. These wings pair wonderfully with steamed rice or a fresh salad and make a crowd-pleasing party appetizer.

Notes

  • You can adjust the heat level in the sauce by varying the amount of chili flakes or sriracha according to your preference.
  • For extra crispy wings, you may broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Use fresh ripe mango for the best sweetness and flavor in the sauce.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • To make this dish gluten free, ensure the chili sauce ingredients like sriracha are gluten free.
