Insane Mango Jerk Wings filled with the most incredible flavor!!! You will never make wings another way again!
Super Bowl Sunday is coming soon y’all, and honestly the only thing that has me excited is this recipe. Mango Jerk Wings will be made in large quantities in my home on game day. You can pretty much guarantee that and take it to the bank.
Why are these mango jerk wings so exciting? Well let’s start with mango. Mango is one of my favorite fruits. It is refreshing, sweet, and indulgent. The flavor is explosive but even better on 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.
Well combining the sweet and the spicy is pretty much mandatory in a wing dish. Spicy, saucy, sweet happiness. The real test is if you break into a little happy dance when you taste a good wing, especially these mango jerk wings. I busted out my moonwalk while eating these at least twice and ended quite gracefully with a MC Hammer typewriter because I believe that dance needs to be brought back asap for future generations.
Get your mango jerk wings on asap!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium sized onion, chopped
- 1½ cups mango, sliced and cubed
- ¼ cup lime or lemon juice
- ⅔ cup mango nectar or orange juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1½ teaspoons allspice
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1½ pounds chicken wings, disjointed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 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.
- 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.

Yeah watching the Super Bowl is totally optional in my book but eating super bowl treats isn’t.

I’m going to try these wings today. I’m just going to add one thing and that is habanero peppers.
YUM That sounds fantastic. Let me know how they turn out!
Quick question, I just purchased Jamaican Allspice recently for another jerk chicken recipe. Can it be used in place of any of the spices, or do you think it’s best to stick with each separate ingredient? Thanks! Wanna surprise my husband with these next weekend for Super Bowl. We live in North Carolina, Keep Pounding Panthers! 🙂
You can use the allspice but you will need to play it by ear regarding taste to make sure that you get enough flavor. Let me know how it turns out!!
Just bumped into this recipe on Pinterest. You had me at mango. Looking forward to them for tonight’s NBA all star!!! Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy! Those would be great for the all-star game!
Would we be able to omit the brown sugar if we don’t have any, or if we want to reduce the sugar content?
You definitely can but you want to add some type of sweetener like maybe honey.
If you are going to baste the chicken while cooking, please remember to bring the marinade up to a boil for a few seconds to prevent salmonella contamination
So true Catherine!
Can you grill these wings on a BBQ?
Sure you can!
Could this possibly work with a whole chicken?
You can definitely try and let me know how it turns out!
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!
