Ingredients

2 lbs Detached chicken wings
3 tbsp Dad's all purpose rub
2 tsp Olive oil

Mango Habanero Sauce Ingredients

2 Mango's
1 Habanero pepper
1 Lime
1/4 cup Honey
2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dad's All Purpose rub

Instructions

Coat the raw chicken wing pieces in olive oil and season them with Dad's All Purpose rub.
Heat up the grill to 375 degrees and set it for indirect heat.
Place the seasoned wings directly on the grates and let them cook for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Flip the wings half way through to ensure an even cook throughout.
Remove off the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.
For the sauce, start off by slicing a habanero pepper off the core. Toss the seeds. Peal and slice 2 mangos. Place in a blender along with some freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, apple cider vinegar and Dad's All Purpose rub. Blend the ingredients together until the consistency is thick and smooth. Taste and adjust heat level to your preference.
Toss the wings in the homemade mango habanero sauce and serve.

Notes

Grilling wings to 175-185 degrees internally on high heat will not dry them out. Meat around the bone needs more time to cook for the fat to break down and get the meat tender.

When picking mango's look for ones that are more ripe. They are sweeter and juicier which will help enhance the flavor of the sauce.
