Hi there! Long time no see!
It has been a while, so I thought I would come back with an easy, 10-step, savory recipe for these early Summer days. Perfect for those of us who do not have access to a bbq grill, these wings are oven baked.
Why You Should Make This Recipe
Perfect for any occasion, from game night to the family cookout, these wings are super easy to make and full of flavor. Pair them with a fresh salad, chips, french fries, popcorn or a fresh lemonade… and you are good to go!
What You Need to Make This Recipe
Appliances/Tools
Blender = to blend all the ingredients for the mango sauce.
Oven or Air fryer = a healthier option compared to deep fried wings. Flip the wings halfway through to ensure even baking and to get the desired crispiness.
Ingredients
Chicken Wings = make sure to pluck/burn any chicken hair. You can either cut them in half or use them as is.
Seasoning = garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and cornstarch. The cornstarch provides the crispy texture. This simple but effective seasoning makes up for the perfect versatile chicken wing base. You can swap up the Mango and Honey sauce with BBQ, Lemon Pepper etc…
Mango Sauce = green onions, ginger, garlic, white vinegar, orange juice, mango, butter, honey, cumin and paprika. A burst of flavor from the zestiness of the juice and vinegar to the sweetness of the mango and honey to and the spiciness and smokiness of chili and paprika. You can store any leftover sauce and use it later.
Chili Flakes and Sesame Seeds = optional, but a game changer. It definitely provide the extra kick, if you can handle a little heat.
