Ingredients

For the Wings

  • 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For the Mango Chili Sauce

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 12 tsp chili flakes or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt

For Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  4. While the wings bake, combine the mango, sweet chili sauce, chili flakes or hot sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  5. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the mango chili sauce over and toss to coat.
  6. Optional: Return the coated wings to the oven for an additional 5 minutes for a caramelized finish.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Air-fryer option: Cook wings at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  • Swap mango for pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Use chipotle sauce for a smoky variation.
  • Dust wings in cornstarch before baking for added crispiness.
