The key to making these mango jerk wings is the marinade. Mango is definitely the star of this marinade, supported by sweet ingredients like mango nectar, brown sugar, and honey, as well as by jerk spices like allspice, ginger, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg, onion, garlic, and cloves. Let your chicken wings sit in this marinade before baking them, and you’ll have something fabulous to chow down on. This spectacular recipe is from Jocelyn of Grandbaby Cakes.
