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!
