# Instructions:
01 -
Throw the mango pieces, habaneros, garlic, vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, paprika, and salt into a food processor. Blend until it’s completely smooth.
02 -
Mix together the baking powder with all the seasonings in a bowl. Make sure the wings are dry, then toss them in the mixture until they’re all coated.
03 -
Set your oven to 425°F. Cover a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top, and give it a spray with non-stick cooking spray.
04 -
Arrange wings on the rack with the skin side up. Bake for 20 minutes, flip them over, and bake another 10 minutes. Keep baking and flipping until they hit 160°F inside.
05 -
Let the wings cool for about 5 minutes. Toss them in a bowl with a third of a cup of the sauce. Serve alongside the extra sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want it spicier, keep the seeds from 1 to 3 habaneros.
02 -
You can make the sauce ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.
03 -
If the wings were frozen, make sure they’re fully thawed before starting.
