flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix to get them beautiful and coated.

Heat the
oven to 250 degrees. Place the wings on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake
for 30 minutes.
Increase
oven heat to 425 degrees and cook another 30 minutes, or until wings are cooked
through and skin is crisp and beautiful.

sauce, add the mango, habaneros, garlic, cayenne pepper, vinegar, lime juice
and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Process until beautiful and smooth.
Pour sauce
into saucepan with honey and heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently
until sauce is heated and honey is incorporated, about 5 minutes.

heat and mix with the finished wings.
