These Mango Habanero Chicken Wings with Curry Yogurt Mango Dip are sweet, sticky, slightly spicy, and one of most delicious appetizers you can find. They’re lip-smacking, finger-licking addictive!
Born and raised in the Philippines, which touts the sweetest and best tasting mangoes on earth (seriously, if you haven’t tried Manila mangoes, you’re missing half of your life!), my deep obsession for the fruit is but expected.
I love cooking with mangoes and use them extensively in many delicious recipes, from refreshing smoothies, fruit candies, no-churn ice creams to sweet and sour stir-fries. You can just imagine my excitement when I was presented with this opportunity to work with LA VICTORIA® and come up with meal ideas using their mango habanero salsa.
Chock-full of mango chunks, tomato and peppers, I’ve been a fan of LA VICTORIA® Mango Habanero Salsa long before this. Anytime I want a little me time, I just dump the whole bottle in a bowl and lounge in our backyard patio, dipping and munching corn chips all afternoon long. Believe me, once I get started, it will be almost impossible to peel me away from my chips and dip. It’s comfort food at its best!
Now, when we have people coming over (or when I am in the mood to spoil G a bit), I like to spruce up the already awesome bottle of LA VICTORIA® Mango Habanero Salsa and turn it into a fantabulous curry yogurt mango dip. Generous dollops of mayo and yogurt, and a good sprinkling of curry powder, I have a party dip guests can’t get enough of! Curry + mango= best flavor combo ever.
And for bonus points, this dip is not only delicious with chips, it makes the perfect pair for sweet, sticky and slightly spicy mango habanero chicken wings, too!
The perfect balance of sweet and spicy, this mango habanero salsa makes a solid base for all your BBQ concoctions. And with the salsa bursting with the summer flavors you love, there’s no need for a long list of ingredients to make a sauce that will totally rock your world.
G and I love to barbecue outdoors and summer is our best excuse to fire up the grill almost every day. He was, however, at work when I did these mango habanero chicken wings this afternoon and as I don’t know how to start up charcoal, I cooked them in the oven instead. They were still lip-smacking, finger-licking delicious but definitely much better done on the grill and enjoyed al fresco. Ugh, made me wish we have a gas grill at home I could easily turn on with a flip of a switch!
If you’re like me and still have a charcoal grill from the ice age, or just want a brand new one, you can enter LA VICTORIA® View from my Plate giveaway for a chance to win a $500 four-burner gas grill. Just imagine the fabulous feasts you can make all summer long!
Nothing speaks summer better than sweet, juicy mangoes. Unfortunately, they’re gone (or whatever is left are horribly poor quality and outrageously expensive) when summer leaves. Fortunately, LA VICTORIA® bottled up all that mango goodness so you can enjoy tropical flavors throughout the year. Try these mango habanero chicken wings with curry yogurt mango dip for a scrumptious summer meal and check out the LA VICTORIA® website for more amazing ways to celebrate great flavor.
And, yes, go win that gas grill!
