Ingredients
Wings
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, clean and cut into drumettes & flats
  • ½ tbsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. pepper
  • ½ cup rice flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • Vegetable spray
Mango Sauce
  • 3 cups mango puree (30 ounces 1 large can)
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp. habanero pepper sauce (to taste)
  • 3 tbsp. Scotch Bonnet sauce or hot sauce (to taste)
  • 2 lime juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. First, wash the wings and cut them into drumettes and flats. Secondly, remove the wingtips, keep them to make chicken stock for a different food preparation. Next, pat the wings dry. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. So, combine the ingredients together before adding the chicken wings. Then coat the wings with the flour mixture.
  3. Meanwhile, take a baking sheet with a cooling rack placed inside and spray the rack to prevent the wings from sticking. More importantly, transfer the wings to the cooling rack. Then lightly spray the chicken with vegetable oil.
  4. So, in a 350 degree oven bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Afterward, increase the heat to 475 degrees. Now flip each wing on the rack and continue baking for another 15 minutes. The high heat will assist to crisp the chicken wings.
  5. Finally, base the wings with the mango habanero sauce. Now, allow the wings to bake for another five minutes. Next, remove the wings from the oven serve them with your favorite dip. Enjoy!
Sauce
  1. Begin by combining the mango pulp, tomato paste, butter, garlic, brown sugar in a saucepan, however, if you are making a non-spicy mango sauce pour a portion of the ingredients into a second pan. Now cook this as you would for the other sauce.
  2. Add the habanero pepper sauce, Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce, or hot sauces to the main mango sauce and simmer on medium heat for ten minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool for use on the chicken wings.
