Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup of melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup of cayenne pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups of mango juice
  • Habanero hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, light corn syrup, cayenne pepper sauce, and fresh lime juice. Mix until well blended.
  • Slowly pour in the mango juice while whisking. The mango juice will provide the sweetness needed to balance the heat.
  • Add habanero hot sauce according to your desired spice level. Finally, stir in the smoked paprika, which will add depth to the sauce.
  • Before getting the wings ready, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the wings cook evenly and develop a nice crispy exterior.
  • Place your wings in a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss them until they are fully coated in the delectable mango habanero mixture.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spread the wings in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. This allows a perfect crisp.
  • Once done, remove the wings from the oven. Let them cool slightly before diving in. These wings are best enjoyed hot!

Notes

  • Customize the Spice: Adjust the amount of habanero hot sauce based on your heat tolerance.
  • Baking Instead of Frying: Baking the wings is a healthier alternative. It still yields a crispy texture without the extra oil.
  • Prep Ahead: You can prepare the sauce in advance. Marinate wings in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.
  • Storage: Any leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with fresh veggies and your choice of dipping sauce for added crunch and flavor.
