Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, optional, for extra crispiness
  • 1/2 cup mango nectar, or mango juice
  • 1 habanero peppers, finely diced (use gloves!)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with salt and cornstarch (if using) until evenly coated.
  • Air Fryer: Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Oven: Place wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 40–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  • In a small saucepan, combine mango nectar, diced habanero peppers, honey, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  • Place cooked wings in a large bowl and pour the warm mango habanero sauce over them. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks if desired. Enjoy your flavorful, crispy wings!
