Mouthwatering Mango Habanero Chicken Wings are a Caribbean twist on irresistible sweet and spicy. Mango provides the fresh fruity flavors of the Caribbean and perfectly balances the spicy kick from the habanero to create a sweet, sticky, sizzling wing! When served at a party or for guests, you are guaranteed to have them coming back for more and more, garnish with fresh mango cubes or crunchy celery for a contrast in textures. Surprisingly straightforward, this recipe can be prepared ahead of time by combining the marinade in a blender then adding it to the wings and allowing the flavors to intensify.
I hope you enjoy these juicy, fully flavored, Mango Habanero wings!
Helpful Tips:
- If Creole Seasoning is unavailable then use any light seasoning of your choice, or salt and black pepper (I would not recommend green seasoning for this recipe because the flavor will overpower the mango habanero).
- I prefer the texture of crunchy onions matched with the tender chicken wings, if you would rather not, then you can add the onions to the blender to make the marinade smooth.
