Baked Habanero & Mango Wings

Written By Jenn Kurtek

Crispy baked wings tossed in JD's Habanero & Mango Hot Sauce — sweet heat that's built for game day, no fryer required.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds lb chicken wings, split

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 cup JD's Habanero & Mango Hot Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoons tbsp honey

  • 1 green onion, sliced, for garnish

Steps

1 Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top.

2 Season the wings: Pat the 3 pounds lb chicken wings, split completely dry. Toss with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt until evenly coated.

3 Arrange on rack: Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack, skin side up.

4 Bake until crispy: Bake, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crispy.

5 Make the sauce: While wings bake, whisk together 1 cup JD's Habanero & Mango Hot Sauce, 2 tablespoons tbsp unsalted butter, melted, and 1 tablespoon honey in a large bowl.

6 Toss and serve: Toss the hot wings in the sauce until fully coated. Garnish with 1 green onion, sliced, for garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

Baking powder is the trick to crispy skin without frying — make sure it's baking powder, not baking soda. Serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese to cool things down.
