Hot Hot Habanero Wings Recipes

MANGO-HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. Place wings on a baking sheet and refrigerate to dry a bit more.
• Combine mango nectar, brown sugar, habanero peppers, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and vinegar in a food processor. Mix until peppers are pureed; seeds will still be visible. Remove food processor lid carefully; the pepper fumes can be strong.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mango-habanero mixture immediately; bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; add honey. Simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is reduced by 75% and thickened to a glaze, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from heat.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat wings lightly with cornstarch. Place 5 to 6 wings in the hot oil; fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Place wings on a paper towel to absorb excess oil; transfer to the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat until all wings have been fried and drained.
• Place wings in a large bowl. Pour half the sauce over the wings and mix, coating the wings with the sauce. Continue adding the remaining sauce until you have coated the wings to your liking.

• In a large bowl or ziploc bag combine flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add the wings to the flour mixture and toss around to coat the wings evenly.
• Transfer wings to previously prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.
• In the meantime prepare the Mango Habanero Sauce.
• In a large cup or bowl whisk together the mango nectar, melted butter, Frank's Hot Sauce, Chile Habanero sauce, and sugar; whisk until thoroughly combined.
• Remove chicken wings from oven.

• Stir all together, and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
• Put chicken wings in a large glass bowl, and cover with 3/4 of the sauce.
• Cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• Preheat grill for low heat.
• Lightly oil grate.
• Remove chicken from marinade, and place on grill.

PAINFULLY HABANERO WINGS

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the habaneros, but leave the seeds in the peppers. Blend habaneros, piquins, garlic and chili flakes in blender until a nice puree. Mix puree with the honey and tomato paste. You can brush the blend directly on to the wings and then bake, or put wings in bag with sauce, shake, and let marinate in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. When you are ready to bake wings, preheat oven to 375 degrees, place on greased baking sheet, and cook until slightly crispy - I prefer at around 45 minutes.
• Do NOT touch your eyes after handling any of these peppers or puree or the wings themselves without washing thoroughly! Wearing gloves during preparation is a good idea also, especially if you have cuts on your hands. I love spicy food, and only made it through three of these before having to give up. These are exceptionally spicy, and eat at your own risk!
• If you make these and find that they're too spicy, try eating some sliced ripe banana. It helps ease the burn much better than water.

LUBED-UP HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the bread flour and ground cereal. Coat the wings in the egg mixture, then in the cereal mixture.
• Fry the wings, 6 at a time, in the oil until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let wings drain on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
• While wings are frying, mix the melted butter, hot sauce, bourbon, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and habanero sauce in a large plastic tub with a lid. Place the wings into the sauce, close the lid, and shake to coat wings with sauce.
• Place the wings on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is slightly sticky, about 10 minutes.
