Time 1h50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs chicken wings, plump (make sure they're halved)
1 cup strong black tea (I left the tea bag in for 10 minutes)
4 ounces dried mango
1 1/2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled weight (a 2 inch knob, approximately)
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/3 cup soya sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like a lot of spice, add more)

Steps:

Rehydrate dried mango by placing the pieces in a small bowl with the hot tea and leave until tea has cooled completely.
Combine all marinade ingredients (including mango and tea) in a mini-processor and blend to make a fairly-smooth puree (it will not be completely smooth).
Put chicken wings in a large ziploc bag and add marinade. Seal bag and massage marinade into chiciken wings. Refrigerate wings 8 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 375°F Empty chicken wings into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, turning over after 1 hour and basting with marinade.
Enjoy!
