Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless chicken wings
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mango puree, soy sauce, curry powder, honey, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients until well blended to create a smooth marinade.
- Pat the boneless chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they will crisp up nicely in the oven. This helps remove excess moisture.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let the wings marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece to allow even cooking and crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
- Serve hot and enjoy the sticky, sweet, and slightly spicy mango curry wings.
Tips
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry before marinating to ensure maximum crispiness and better sauce adherence.
- For an extra flavor boost, let the wings marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out.
- If you prefer extra crispy wings, switch your oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Experiment with the spice level by adjusting the curry powder or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve with a cooling side like cucumber raita or a fresh herb salad to balance the wings' rich flavors.
