1 tablespoon baking powder (no aluminum)

# Instructions:
01 -
Throw mango chunks, chilies, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, syrup, paprika, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend it all down to a silky consistency.
02 -
Mix baking powder with the rest of the dry spices in a bowl. After you've dried the wings, coat them in the seasoning blend by tossing them together.
03 -
Heat oven to 425°F. Cover a baking tray with foil, layer on a wire rack, and lightly spray it to keep food from sticking.
04 -
Lay wings skin-side facing up on the rack. Bake for 20 minutes, flip them over, then bake another 10 minutes. Keep going until they're 160°F inside.
05 -
Let the wings sit for about 5 minutes. Toss them with about a third of the sauce in a big bowl. The rest of the sauce can be used when eating.
# Notes:
01 -
To adjust the spice, include seeds from 1-3 habanero peppers.
02 -
Feel free to make the sauce earlier and keep it in the fridge.
03 -
Make sure frozen wings are totally thawed.
