Ingredients

3 large mangos, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped or 6 cups frozen mango chunks
½ tsp organic molasses
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ginger powder
1 tbsp avocado oil
⅓ cup coconut sugar
¼ tsp fish sauce
½ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp chili paste
½ tsp red pepper flakes
2 lbs chicken wings (about 24), wingtips removed, or drumettes patted dry
Chopped scallions, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Blend mango, molasses, garlic, ginger, oil, sugar, fish sauce, onion powder and both chiles. Set aside ½ cup for marinating and keep the remainder away from raw chicken.
Season wings, coat with the ½ cup sauce and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
Boil the clean reserved sauce for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
Grill wings, turning, until they reach 165°F. Toss with ¼ cup cooked sauce and serve with scallions and the remaining sauce on the side.
