Mango Habanero Wings
Mango Habanero Salsa and Peach preserves create a sweet and spicy Mango Habanero glaze to go over these Mango Habanero Wings and it is easy to make. This has to be my favorite chicken wings recipe. It is great to serve for game day, holidays, or summer picnics, which is why I included them in the 25 Memorial Day Recipes article.
For those that follow me, you may have noticed that I have gone mango habanero crazy and made quite a few Mango Habanero recipes, such as Mango Habanero Shrimp Flatbread, Asian Lettuce Wraps with Mango Habanero Salsa, and Blackened Chicken Tacos with Mango Habanero Salsa.

What Makes This Mango Habanero Wings Recipe Work?
We love the Mango Habanero Salsa because it strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy with its chunks of mangoes and tomatoes. It carries some heat, but it does not overwhelm the salsa. Instead, it compliments the sweetness of the mangoes.
I bought several jars previously and had to make sure Mr. Flavor Mosaic had not finished off 4 bottles of it yet. Thankfully, we had 2 bottles left so could make these chicken wings and still have some left over for dipping.
