The Most Perfect Mango Jerk Wings!
The Flavor of Jerk Chicken Wings
I love sweet wings with a kick, and Jamaican jerk seasoning gives this wing dish the kick it needs. Jerk chicken can’t be denied (Neither can these jerk shrimp tacos by the way).
If you have ever tried deliciously spicy and flavorful jerk chicken, you can probably close your eyes right now and be transported back to that moment because it sticks in your brain and never leaves. In other words, these wings are like crack!

- 1 1/2 cups mango sliced and cubed
- 1/4 cup lime or lemon juice
- 2/3 cup mango nectar or orange juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
- Add olive oil to pan then cook onion until tender.
- Next saute mango until tender.
- Add mango, lime or lemon juice and mango nectar or orange juice, brown sugar, honey and all spices to blender or food processor and grind until smooth. If it needs to thin a bit more, add a little bit more juice.
- Pour marinade into a large ziploc bag and submerge chicken in marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with non stick foil or parchment paper.
- Remove chicken from marinade and season on both sides with remaining salt and pepper.
- Bake chicken on first side for 15 minutes then turn over. For more flavor, feel free to baste chicken with marinade during cooking. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is completely done, marinade is sticky on chicken and it is browned.

Hi Jocelyn, What seasoning do I put on the wings, when you said “Season on both sides”?
with salt and pepper.
Okay, my chicken is marinating I started it last night. I’ll be cooking them after I get off work. We’ll see how they turn out. Thanks for replying Jocelyn. So awesome!!! You responded to me. I’m so excited. I just love your recipes..

This looks so bomb! It’s mango season here, I cannot wait to make this!
These chicken wings looks so good. I want to eat them through my phone!! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been wanting to make jerk wings for awhile and thought that maybe I could add mango and or papaya to marinade. Marinade them, then put in smoker and smoke with peach chips, and to crisp up at end broil on each side for couple minutes. Does this sound good to anyone? It did me.
Sounds great!
