- 1 tsp ground nutmeg

- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 lb (680 g) chicken wings, disjointed

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the sliced and cubed mango to the pan and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the mango is tender.
- Transfer the cooked onion and mango to a blender or food processor. Add the lime or lemon juice, mango nectar or orange juice, brown sugar, honey, and jerk seasoning. Blend until smooth.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mango jerk sauce over the wings, ensuring they are well coated.
- Arrange the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet and spicy mango jerk wings!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of jerk seasoning.
- These wings are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- If mango is not available, substitute with ripe peaches or nectarines.
