Mango Chili Chicken Wings

  

  

      Ingredients

 24 chicken wings 

 3 serrano or jalapeño chiles 

 1/4 cup thinly sliced ginger 

 5 cloves garlic 

 3 green onions, ends trimmed 

 1/4 cup minced cilantro sprigs 

 1 (12-ounce) can mango nectar

 Fruit from 2 ripe mangoes 

 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 

 1 teaspoon salt 

 1 teaspoon allspice                         

                       

                                 

 Directions

 1. Cut off the wing tips. 

 2. In a food processor, mince the chiles, ginger, and garlic. 

Add the green onions and cilantro, and mince. Add all the 

remaining ingredients and liquefy.

 3. In a large bowl, combine the wings and mango mixture. 

Mix thoroughly. Marinate the wings in the refrigerator for 3 to 24 hours.

 4. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. 

Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place the rack 

in the baking pan. 

 5. Drain the chicken and reserve the marinade. Arrange the wings 

on the rack (smooth surface down) and roast for 30 minutes.

 6. Drain the accumulated liquid from the pan. Baste the wings with

 the reserved marinade, turn them over, and baste again. Roast until

 the wings turn a mahogany color, about another 30 minutes. 

Cut the wings in half through the joint. Serve hot.
