Mango-Habanero Chicken Wings
Being a big fan of restaurant-style mango-habanero wings, I set out to create something similar. I found multiple recipes online, but none seemed up to my standards. After about a year of making a few and combining different ideas, I came up with this one. Every time I've made this, it's been a huge hit and people are always asking me for the recipe, so here it is. The cornstarch absorbs extra moisture and forms a very thin crispy crust on the wings. It's not a heavy breading, it just adds a bit of crunch.

Cook's Note:
These wings are hot and might not be suitable for everyone, especially kids, so you may want to label them with a warning. However, I've served them at a party and no one was too overcome by the heat, with many people eating 5 or more wings.
