Mango Chutney Chicken Wings
I’m obsessed with blending fruit and meat lately. Today is no different. There’s something about the sweet - tart - spicy combination that lights up taste buds.
As far as my kids are concerned I can stop now. Seriously, if I served this dish every day I wouldn’t get a single complaint, even out of the hubby. Oddly enough, can be pickier than the kiddos sometimes.
Back to the kiddos, mine love a little heat – not enough to breathe fire, mind you – just enough to cool down with fresh fruit or a smoothie. However, if heat isn’t your thing, don’t fret, this recipe can easily be switched up to sticky sweet and tart. Simply omit the peppers and double up on the fruit and brown sugar. By contrast, double the peppers if you’re feeling adventurous.
I can't wait to hear what you think!
