Mango Habanero Glaze Food

MANGO-HABANERO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels. Place wings on a baking sheet and refrigerate to dry a bit more.
• Combine mango nectar, brown sugar, habanero peppers, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and vinegar in a food processor. Mix until peppers are pureed; seeds will still be visible. Remove food processor lid carefully; the pepper fumes can be strong.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the mango-habanero mixture immediately; bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; add honey. Simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is reduced by 75% and thickened to a glaze, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from heat.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat wings lightly with cornstarch. Place 5 to 6 wings in the hot oil; fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Place wings on a paper towel to absorb excess oil; transfer to the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat until all wings have been fried and drained.
• Place wings in a large bowl. Pour half the sauce over the wings and mix, coating the wings with the sauce. Continue adding the remaining sauce until you have coated the wings to your liking.

SWEET AND KICKIN' MANGO-HABANERO HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the onion, mangoes, peach, honey, habanero peppers, and mustard in a food processor. Process until smooth; mix in salt, paprika, white pepper, cumin, and allspice. Add brown sugar; continue to process until well combined.
• Pour mango-habanero mixture into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add white vinegar and apple cider vinegar, stirring frequently until thoroughly combined. Boil until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour sauce into jars or containers.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH MANGO HABANERO GLAZE

Steps:

• Add the first five ingredients (sugar through cider vinegar) in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium and stir frequently, mashing the mango, until the ingredients are incorporated and begin to boil. Lower the heat to simmer, and let cook slowly for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze 1 tbsp juice from the orange and add with the rum to the sugar/mango mixture. Stir and simmer gently for 2 - 3 more minutes. Set aside and cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Salt chicken to taste. Grill chicken until nearly finished. Baste chicken with glaze and grill a few more minutes on each side, basting lightly with glaze with each turn until the chicken is done.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. Reserve and refrigerate extra glaze for future use.

JERK CHICKEN WITH HABANERO-MINT GLAZE AND MANGO RELISH

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Combine all spice ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Brush chicken on both sides with the oil and season with salt. Rub 1 side of each breast with some of the jerk seasoning. Place the chicken on the grill, rub side down and grill until slightly charred and the rub has formed a crust, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, brush the top side with some of the Habanero-Mint Glaze and continue cooking until just cooked through, brushing with more of the glaze every few minutes. Remove from the grill to a serving platter, brush with more glaze and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with Mango Relish on the side.
• Place vinegars and habanero in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted and the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half. *Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, add the mint and blend until smooth. Season with salt and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
• *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. May be prepared and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving.
