Tag: Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Mango Habanero Wings

Don’t fear the habanero. Don’t worry about the heat. Well, ok, maybe a little. But it’s really tamed by the fantastic mango sauce. This might well be the perfect combination of sweet and heat. This is what Buffalo wing sauce wants to be when it grows up. This copycat recipe Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero sauce is nothing but awesome. These are amazingly good wings. The kind you’ll want to make time and time again. And they’re easy to make, too!

Tropical Heat

I used a can of nectar when I made this copycat recipe of the Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero sauce. It can be found in the Hispanic foods section of your grocery store, or of course, you can visit your local Hispanic grocery store instead! If you can’t find it, you might find it in the juice section. In a pinch, you can substitute mango that has been diced and pureed until very smooth. In that case you’ll probably need to strain the sauce before using. You want it to be on the thinner side but don’t add water to make it thinner. You don’t want to water down the flavor.

Hmmmm. Nectar….

There are other flavors of nectar to be discovered. Peach. Strawberry. All are excellent candidates for your next flavor of wing sauce. So while you’re at the store getting the stuff for these wings, grab some other nectar flavors too. The sauce is so good I’d get at least two of each!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!
