Sweet, spicy, and irresistibly sticky—these Mango Habanero Wings bring bold island flavor with every bite.

These Spicy Mango Habanero Chicken Wings are sweet, sticky, and fiery in the best way possible ! They’re oven-baked until perfectly crisp, then tossed in a homemade mango habanero sauce that’s bursting with Caribbean flavor. Whether you're planning a game-day spread, backyard BBQ, or just craving something bold and flavorful, this recipe delivers big-time heat and tropical sweetness in every bite. Garnish with fresh mango cubes or crunchy celery for a contrast in textures.

In our home, these wings are a game night favorite or the perfect appetizer when we’re having family over—sweet, spicy, and always a crowd-pleaser! These wings pair perfectly with Creamy Coleslaw or Festive Corn Salad .

Helpful Tips:

  • Control the heat : Use fewer habaneros or remove the seeds for a milder version.

  • Get ahead : Marinate overnight for more intense flavor.

  • Extra crispy? Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for a crispy, caramelized finish.

Storage:

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

Description

Packed with Flavor and so irresistibly good! You will definitely want to add these to your next game night

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

  • 10 chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon or salt (to taste)

For the Mango Habanero Marinade:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 3–4 habanero peppers (adjust for heat preference)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon chicken bouillon or salt
  • ½ medium onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Clean and Season the Wings

Clean your chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Add them to a large bowl and season with smoked paprika, Creole seasoning, black pepper, and chicken bouillon (or salt). Toss to coat evenly.

Step 2: Make the Mango Habanero Sauce

In a blender, combine the diced mango, garlic cloves, habanero peppers, and chicken bouillon (or salt). Blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the sliced onions, and mix well.

Step 3: Marinate the Wings

Pour half of the mango habanero marinade over the seasoned chicken wings. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor. Reserve the remaining marinade in a separate bowl.

Step 4: Bake the Wings

Remove the wings from the oven. Mix the reserved mango marinade with ¼ cup of honey and brush it generously over the wings. Return the wings to the oven for 10–15 minutes, or until sticky, glazed, and slightly caramelized.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
