Recipe Description
Crispy… Sweet… Tangy… Buttery…. Garlicky…. Yep that’s what these Spicy Pineapple and Mango Wings are all about. They’re a great party food. But most importantly they are one my guilty pleasures….
I wanted to make sure I could taste butter, garlic, and a little bit of heat paired with the sweetness of this sauce. So I threw a ton of butter, garlic, and a touch of cayenne pepper into the sauce. And then I let my homemade crispy fried wings take a quick swim in the this saucy bath. Enjoy!
