Baked Mango Chipotle Chicken Wings
I love me some chicken wings! I always use drumsticks since they contain more chicken. Feel free to use regular chicken wings if you wish. This recipe is super easy but the wings take time to bake so be sure to plan ahead! You can definitely make these on the grill as well. Don't let the multiple recipe groups scare you. These are just chicken wings. They are easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Wings
Mango Sauce
- 1 Mango You can also buy frozen mango pulp in the dessert freezer section. Works just fine!
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- .5 Juice of a Lemon
- 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tbs Agave, Honey or Maple Syrup
Chipotle Marinade
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbs Adobo Sauce from Can of Chipotle Peppers usually found in the Mexican aisle. You can swap for chili powder if you cant find it but trust me its worth it.
Instructions
- Start by making the chipotle marinade. Put all ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Brush your wings well with this sauce.
- Bake on a wired baking sheet at 425 for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, flip your wings and bake for another 25 minutes.
- While those are cooking, let's make the mango sauce. Cut up your mango and put it in a blender to puree. If you are using the frozen mango pulp, make sure to fully defrost it. Add garlic, paprika, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Blend/Mix well. (Best if you use a blender but you can mix by hand if you do not have one)
- Once you are done mixing, add your mango sauce to a sauce pan at medium heat. Add in your 2 tbs of honey agave or maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Stir it occasionally for 5-10 minutes.
- Dip your chicken wings into the mango sauce and coat well.
- Return wings to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Feel free to use the leftover mango sauce as a dipping sauce for some extra mango flavor!
