Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

2-3 habanero peppers, seeds removed and chopped (adjust for heat preference)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

    Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the mango habanero marinade over the wings, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for extra flavor).

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.

        Bake the Wings: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

          Optional Grilling: If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates, and grill the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred and cooked through.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven or grill. Allow them to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

              Enjoy: Dive into these spicy, sweet, and tangy Fiery Mango Habanero Wings, perfect for game day or any gathering!
