directions

  • Puree the mango flesh in a food processor or blender (water may be needed to puree).
  • Transfer puree to a large saucepan, and add remaining ingredients for the barbecue sauce. Mix together until all ingredients are combined, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, for about 30-45 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Heat oil to 350 in a large Dutch oven or electric fryer.
  • Rinse the chicken drumettes, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl or resealable bag, combine remaining salt and pepper with the flour and paprika.
  • In a separate dish, mix together the eggs and evaporated milk until well combined.
  • Roll the seasoned chicken pieces in the flour, a few at a time, until well coated.
  • Dip chicken in the milk and egg mixture, followed by another coat of seasoned flour.
  • Allow the chicken to sit in the flour and dry out for about 5 minutes, ensuring that the coating will stay on better.
  • Carefully add the chicken pieces to the fryer as will fit without touching. Do not crowd the pan or the temperature will lower, making the chicken greasy.
  • Fry for 5 minutes, then turn the pieces over and fry the other side 5 minutes. Cook for about 10 minutes total, or until the pieces begin to float.
  • Remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, about 5 minutes.
  • To Serve:.
  • Place the fried wings in a large bowl and toss with the barbecue sauce (or less, to taste).
  • Refrigerate any leftover barbecue sauce.

  1. Well this should be more than a 5 star recipe. I used it in a wing contest last weekend and came in second. The winner brought in WHOLE family to vote and just barely beat me. This recipe is a winner. The only change that I had to make was not breading the wings due to the length of time the wings had to set inthe sauce for juding. I just deep fried them and they were winners. Thanks so much.
     
  2. Loved this barbecue sauce, tropical with a little kick! I made a 1/2 recipe of the sauce and used 4 chicken breasts cut into 3x1 inch pieces because I didn't have any wings. Instead of deep-frying, I roasted the chicken for 30 minutes at 400F and used a 1/2 c each of panko and breadcrumbs instead of flour for the coating. This was excellent, thanks for sharing!
     
  3. I tried this recipe right after I saw it on Food Network's Showdown. It is absolutely awesome! My BH just asked me the other day when I'd make them again. That's what I'm doing right now... They are some what time consuming but well worth the effort. Talk about finger-lickin' good chicken! Hmmm, Hmmm!
